Hot spot here is also Drenia, an archipelago with tiny islets with sandy beaches. (there is even a beach bar in the biggest one)
USEFUL INFORMATION
- Can I visit Mount Athos?
Only adult men and males under the age of 18 accompanied by their fathers are permitted to enter Mount Athos. This rule, which is known as the “avaton”, forbids access to Mount Athos to any female and is enforceable by law.
- How can I visit Mount Athos?
You must call the phone number in Thessaloniki (30-2310-252578) to make your request for a permit, but you pick it up at the office in Ouranoupoli on the day of your departure. Unless you are personally invited by a monk from Mount Athos, you need to make your request six months before you intend to travel.
- I am a woman, can I visit Mount Athos?
Unfortunately, no. Women are not allowed to enter Mount Athos. Of course, the Mount Athos monks explain that the prohibition is not a disparagement of women, but a respect for monasticism and protection of monks from temptation. Mount Athos also honors the Blessed Virgin Mary, through whom the sacrament of the Incarnation of the Son and the Word of God took place. That is why it is also called the “Orchard of the Virgin”.
Vourvourou-Diaporos
