Sveta gora

Greek mountain and pilgrimage site, known as the birthplace of early Christian Orthodox monasticism, housing around 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries. The mountain, which is on a peninsula, is actually a self-governing monastic state with a population of around 2,000 men – only males over the age of 18 are permitted to visit the peninsula, through its single boat crossing.
