Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Mount Athos is a peninsula mountain in Macedonia, northern Greece, considered a holy mountain by the Orthodox Church. It is very quiet and beautiful here. Mount Athos does not win with natural landscapes, but its unique historical stereotypes and unique cultural landscapes have attracted a large number of tourists, and it has become an important tourist destination in Greece. Every year, tourists from all over the world, with different moods, want to come here to experience life in isolation, but all tourists must be male. Except for the statue of the Virgin Mary, women are absolutely forbidden to enter the island. Whether it is the queen princess or ordinary women, without exception, even female animals are bombarded when they approach the island. When boats with women pass by the island, they must travel on the sea 500 meters away from the island. After successfully applying for entry, travelers must carry out activities according to the schedule of the monastery practice, praying and dining with monks, etc. Travelers can get free food on the mountain, but they are very light.
