Athos is the holy mountain on Agios Oros, the one of the three peninsulas named Chalkidiki, Greece. I shot this from the neighboring peninsula Sithonia, from the village Sarti. Agios Oros is forbidden for women and the boats can't go nearer than 500 yards. That's today!!! And the Ancient Greeks were more civilized, centuries ago.

Awesome work, Milka. The water is fantastic. Forbidden for women? I can't imagine that today. I'd like to go there to see why is forbidden. LOL

The misty mountain in the distance and the bright blue sea make this a very lovely image Milka.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

Nice scene. As far as I know, this area is not only forbidden for women but also forbidden for children. -Tanju

Very interesting Milka. Both the photo and the information.
There must be a lot of forbidden fruit there.
Beautiful shot and the rocks look great in the foreground.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I guess it is inaccessible except by boat. It has been forbidden to women for centuries. I guess the Orthodox church has reasons for that. I know I wouldn't go where I was not wanted. lol But, no one can stop the admiration for the beautiful mountain from here.
Keeping this one, Milka, and thank you.
