Mount Athos
This shot was taken from the boat that I took to reached mount Athos.
Mount Athos is a mountain and a peninsula in Macedonia, northern Greece
It is home to 20 Orthodox monasteries and forms an autonomous state under Greek sovereignty. Only monks are allowed to establish permanent residency on Athos and the current population numbers around 1,400.
Mount Athos as a monastic community was formally founded in 963
Greek is commonly used in all Greek monasteries, but in some monasteries there are other languages in use, in St. Panteleimon, Russian; in Chilandari, Serbian; in Zographou, Bulgarian; and in the sketae of Prodromou and Lacu, Romanian. Today, many of the Greek monks can also understand English or other European languages
