Today I will show you a collection of miscellaneous postcards and images of Athos, that gathered from the internet in the last months. The first picture is from two men near a well, probably in the beginning of the last century, but I am not sure if this photo is taken on Athos. The text with the photo said: “Old cabinet photo Athos”. My guess: could it be somewhere outside the Lavra monastery? Next are some postcards from the Athos mountain:
1928

Monks on the top Early postcard from the harbor of Dafni:
