Description
A majestic mountain peak rises in the distance beyond a coastal landscape under a clear blue sky with a singular cloud. The foreground is dotted with sparse vegetation and rocky outcrops overlooking the tranquil sea.
Mount Athos, also known as Ἄθως in Greek, is a significant mountain located on the Athos peninsula in northeastern Greece. This area serves as a crucial hub for Eastern Orthodox monasticism. Governed as an autonomous region in Greece, the mountain and the majority of the Athos peninsula are under the jurisdiction of the monastic community of Mount Athos. This community is ecclesiastically overseen by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.
