Athos

Halkidiki, Grčka

Mount Athos, commonly known as the “Holy Mountain”, is the spiritual capital of the Orthodox Christian world, consisting of 20 monasteries and around 2,000 monks. It is a religious community with 1.000 years old monasteries, listed in UNESCO’s world heritage monuments.

Monasteries are built under the style of Byzantine architecture. The buildings are constructed with massive walls to create a protective shield from pirates, giving Athos a castle appearance.

Even though women are not allowed inside Mount Athos, both men and women are able to admire the magnificent monasteries by cruising along the west coast of Athos peninsula.
