Monastery which has stood since 1476. It was prominently featured in the James Bond film "For Your Eyes Only".
Hermit monks may have lived here beginning in the 14th century, but the present monastery was built between 1458 and 1476.
Until the 20th century, monks, pilgrims and supplies reached the monastery only by means of rope-ladders and baskets. But in 1925, access to the rock was eased by the addition of rock-hewn stairs.
Agia Triada suffered greatly in World War II and the German occupation, during which virtually all its treasures were looted.
