Athos The Holy Mountain - Greece

Film and photos from my short visit and stay on Athos. Soundtrack is Tubular Bells mixed with a Greek chant and local church bells from my father's town of birth, Neopolis. Some images have been taken from elsewhere to enhance presentation. Filming is prohibited on Athos without special permission, as is sound recording. Nor was I greatly inclined to take many photos while there, it not being a tourist destination, but a place of spiritual and religious repose, reflection, practice and study.

@orffer1 all Greek men visit Mt Athos several times during their life...I think you should do your utmost to visit it once, then you won't stop visiting it...
