アトス山のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The Zygou Monastery has an entrance fee and closes at 3:30 p.m. I don't know whether the Frangokastello is open to visitors. It's currently under restoration or an excavation site.

A small hidden path down to the stony beach.

A lovely picnic area with several tables and benches. The large trees provide lovely shade. The brick barbecue grills, however, have seen better days.

Unfortunately, an estimated 1km is currently (June 22, 2025) difficult to pass due to overgrown vegetation. It's nice that you can get right to the border, complete with a prohibition sign and gate.

This church is located 500 meters below the summit. If you don't feel comfortable climbing up and down in one day, you can stay here for a night. While sleeping outdoors is not allowed on the rest of the Athos peninsula, it is permitted on the summit. After all, you have to climb 2000 meters in altitude first.

The hiking trail from the Xenofontos Monastery to the Pantelemeinos Monastery is beautifully situated - partly close to the sea, partly slightly elevated with a great panoramic view

From the Dochiariou Monastery, a beautiful hiking trail leads along the sea to the Xenofontos Monastery

A scenic hiking trail connects the monasteries of Simonos Petras and Grigoriou and is worth a visit. Sure-footedness, sturdy shoes and good fitness are required.
