Ayia Triada

Frommer's Review

It's not easy to say which of the monasteries has the most spectacular position, but Ayia Triada would be near the top of the list. Perched on a slender pinnacle reached only by laboring up 140 steps, Ayia Triada really does seem to belong to another world. The one monk who lives here is usually glad to see visitors and show them around the church, refectory, and courtyard. Don't miss the winch, for years used to bring up supplies and visitors. If this monastery looks more familiar to you than the others, perhaps you remember it from the James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only, which was filmed here.
