Pantokrator(os)

The ruins of the Athos university near Vatopedi or Vatopaidiou. Also here.

Simonos Petras

Panteleimonos: once a “city” of 5.000 monks (now appr. 50 ?). I just read the book The Russians on Athos by Nicholas Fennell. Very interesting story about a short moment in history that the Russians outnumbered the Greek monks on Athos

The ruins of Ag. Vasiliou near the arsanas of Chilandariou.
