A place that you want to return to more and more often. I'm not an artist, but I couldn't help but draw St. Nicholas as a souvenir.Panteleimon Monastery and the road to Xenophon. I want to return in 2025, God willing.

We were in the monastery for five days. They went to day and night services, worked as laborers in their free time. The monks provided a Mercedes all-terrain vehicle for a tour of all the monasteries of Mount Athos and the capital of the monastic state of Kareya. The cells in the monastery are simple, but clean, the Windows overlook the Aegean Sea. There are no temptations, there are no televisions at all, electricity is supplied for a couple of hours a day, the rest of the time by candlelight. We ate together with the monks at a common table, everything is lean, but tasty and satisfying, even wine and very tasty olives are served. The monks are friendly and friendly. I highly recommend it for relaxation of body and soul.
