    The first book in Swedish about Mount Athos:
    Gullman, Sven H., Athos: det Heliga berget (Skellefteå, 2004). See my home page with information and pictures: http://svenhgullman.nu
    I write articles about the Serbian monastery Hilandar (Chilandaríou) in the Swedish-Serbian revue Diaspora. I have visited the Holy mountain 10 times from 1997.
