The Agia Triada (Greek: Αγία Τριάδα, "Holy Trinity") monastery was used in the final scenes of the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only.
The Meteora (Greek: Μετέωρα, "suspended rocks" or "suspended in the air") is one of the largest and most important complex of monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos. The monasteries are built on spectacular natural sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Peneios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece. The Meteora is home to six monasteries and is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Travel Like James Bond, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
On my website, I've got a post about Traveling like James Bond, detailing hotels & places & events where the 007 movies were filmed. I'm going to make a slide show and widget for people to use on their Bond fan pages

Congratulations on receiving more than 5,000 views -- that's quite impressive! Now that you've reached this milestone, you might want to consider graduating this photograph from the 'Views: 4000' group to the 'Views: 5000' group, which can be found here: www.flickr.com/groups/views5000/
