Discover the wonders of the monastic self-governed state on Mount Athos, also known as the Holy Mountain, in Greece. A UNESCO world heritage site, this peninsula boasts green, rugged slopes with numerous monasteries housing approximately 2,000 monks. Note that women are not permitted on Mount Athos, and men must apply for a permit well in advance of their visit, with a maximum stay of four days. Visitors without a permit can still experience the peninsula's beauty by taking an excursion boat around Mount Athos to view the monasteries from a distance. Additionally, the Mount Athos hotel hosts events throughout the year with the Friends of Mount Athos, including conferences, lectures, and exhibitions, to promote religious and charitable work. This hotel is a top choice for tourists, particularly Orthodox Russians and Orthodox Bulgarians, seeking spiritual experiences while in Greece.
