Hiking
One of the best parts of any visit to the Holy Mountain is walking the footpaths which lead from monastery to monastery. These have been used by monks and pilgrims for centuries, and in many places the ancient cobbled 'kalderimi' are still visible. Nowadays most people travel by minibus, but if you wish to experience the true peace and beauty of this holy place, walk the footpaths. And try your strength to summit the peak Mount Athos.
