You will stay for 3 nights at Eagles Palace Hotel & Spa and one night at one of the monasteries of Mount Athos, the oldest surviving monastic community in the world. You will be able to attend the services at the monastery, take a guided tour and / or visit the relics of the monasteries and taste the food of the monks – there will also be some free time to explore the region further.  

MOUNT ATHOS
Known for its religious background, legend states that overwhelmed by the mountain's wild and natural beauty, the virgin Mary asked God to give her the mountain. For this reason, the mountain is often referred to as 'the garden of the Mother of God', and has since, to this day, been out of bounds to any other women; even female animals!

Now inhabited by 1,400 monks who follow a strict regimen of daily activities, Mount Athos is considered one of the secret gems in Northern Greece.

We would be delighted to have you join us on this trip – attendance is subject to a confirmed commission, flights from the UK are supported.

As an integral part of the trip is to visit and stay for one night at Mount Athos, the oldest surviving monastic community in the world, this trip is only open to men as the community does not allow women to set foot on their land.
