All reservations have been made, so finally we have a defintive plan for our 2014 Athos trip: special on this visit is that we will not sleep in a monastery, but only in sketes and a kellion. This is the proposed route that we intend to walk:
first day 1/9: Ouranopolis – Xenofontos – Skiti Xenofontos – Stavros – Ano Kapsala – Skiti Profiti Eliou
second day 2/9: Skiti Profiti Eliou – Karyes – skiti Iviron – Magoula – Filotheou – Karakallou and kellion Timiou Stavrou
Timiou Stavrou 2011: father David
third day 3/9: Timiou Stavrou – skiti Lakkou(?) – Antithonas – Agiou Pavlou – Nea Skiti
The road to Agiou Pavlou/Nea Skiti, seen from Mount Athos
fourth day 4/9: Nea Skiti – the top of Mount Athos – Skiti Anni
Skiti Anni seen from Mount Athos -2011
5/9: from Skiti Anni back to Ouranopolis
Wim, 17/8
Good luck Wim!
I’m going to Mt Athos (second time) from 8/9 to 11/9.
First time I was there in September 2012.
I was on the top of Mt Athos, and I hope I will be there again.
Greetings from Poland!
