Mount Athos Hotels Chalkidiki Greece

Mount Athos (Agion Oros, Holy Mountain), Chalkidiki (Halkidiki), Greece
Mount Athos in the third peninsula of Chalkidiki (Halkidiki) and is truly original since it is an area abounding with monasteries. Adding to the serene and spiritual atmosphere of the area are the evergreen forests that surround the monasteries. Many male visitors (women are not allowed to enter the monasteries) come to Agion Oros for peace and reflection. Some pilgrims return year after year. However, there are areas in Mt. Athos that cater to the average visitor and offer all the comforts of the other two peninsulas, such as organized sandy beaches, lively night clubs and restaurants and a plethora of hotels, rooms, apartments and studios.
