Mount Athos is a mountain and peninsula in northeastern Greece and an important centre of Eastern Orthodox monasticism.
It is governed as an 
autonomous polity within the Hellenic Republic. Mount Athos is home to 20 monasteries 
​under the direct jurisdiction of the 
Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.


Την πρώτη φορά που αντικρίζεις το 'Αγιον 'Ορος νοιώθεις ότι ζωγραφίζεις ένα μεγάλο κύκλο.  Μόλις φεύγεις πιστεύεις ότι ο κύκλος έκλεισε, αλλά τελικά όσο απομακρύνεσαι τόσο ο κύκλος αυτός ανοίγει….

Φωτογραφικές σκέψεις από ένα διήμερο ταξίδι αστραπή στις Ιερές Μονές Οσίου Γρηγορίου, Διονυσίου και Αγίου Παύλου, μετά από αρκετά χρόνια απουσίας.
The first time you see the Holy Mountain, you feel that you are painting a large circle. As soon as you leave you believe the circle is closed, but eventually as you move away, this circle opens ....

Photographic thoughts from a two-day trip to the Holy Monasteries of Saint Gregory, Dionysios and St. Paul after several years of absence.
