Description
A serene twilight descends over a coastal landscape with a majestic mountain towering in the background. The calm sea is adjacent to a rugged coastline, and the sky is painted with hues of purple and blue, indicating either dawn or dusk.
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.
