Mount Athos is a unique world monument, mystical and sacred state open only to men! The Garden of the Virgin Mary, as has been called for many centuries, personifies the sanctity of monastic life. The visitor will hear a lot of stories about saints, hermits and wonders while he explores in admiration old churches and monasteries. If you happen to be near by but can’t visit the state, at least don’t miss the circumnavigation of Mount Athos by boat – with starting point at Ouranoupolis. You will have the opportunity to enjoy from a distance all proud monasteries of Athos as they pop up one by one in front of your eyes, climbing and hanging as ornaments within the unique beauty of the coast. The boats approach the coast up to 500 meters and mount Athos will take your breath away – its own height around 2000 meters.
