Description
Founded in the 10th century by the monk Daniel of Dochiariou, the monastery is located on the southwestern coast of the Athos Peninsula, at the monastic state of Mount Athos in northern Greece. Mount Athos (the 'Holy Mount' for the Greeks) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and forms a self-governed monastic state with 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries. Only males are allowed entrance into Mount Athos, which has been described as one of the most beautiful places on earth, still unspoilt. This picture is scanned from a seventies slide.
