Experience one of the world’s most sacred and mysterious places up close by joining a cruise along the coast of Mount Athos. Although entry into the monastic community itself is strictly restricted to men holding a special permit, the cruise boats sail at a safe, authorized distance from the shore, offering everyone the chance to admire the imposing sight of the Byzantine monasteries.
The architecture of the monasteries, which appear to cling to the sheer cliffs, combined with the pristine nature and the spiritual atmosphere of the landscape, inspires a sense of awe. The tour includes informative commentary that sheds light on the history of this unique UNESCO World Heritage Site.
