If Agia Triada (Holy Trinity) Monastery looks familiar, it's probably because you saw it in the James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only.

Aside from that great honor, the Holy Trinity Monastery boasts one of the most spectacular positions of the six Meteora monasteries – Agia Triada is perched atop a slender pinnacle and accessible only by 140 steep steps.

The one monk who lives here welcomes visitors and shows them around the monastery's church, refectory and courtyard. Visitors to Holy Trinity can also see the winch system used to bring people and supplies to the mountaintop monasteries.

If you want to hire a private guide, speak to the concierge at your hotel, or contact the Association of Official Guides in Athens (tel. 210/322-9705). Expect to pay from 100€ for a 5-hour tour.

The busiest tourist season at Meteora is between May and September. The mountain range to the east and north of Meteora experiences baking heat in summer and severe cold in winter with heavy snowfalls. Summer is the driest time. Storms occur year round, especially at higher altitudes.

Most visitors to Meteora stay in Kalambaka or Kastraki, the two closest villages to Meteora.
