This year I booked a flight above the peninsula of Athos to take aerial pictures. Because of busy times at work I was not able to sort out all the pictures, that’s why it took some time to share them with you. In totall I made 452 pictures during this flight of more than two hours, and a video, which has also has to be edited yet. Our hight was about 1300 feet (about 400 meters).
To make a start I will first show you the aerial pictures of the twenty monasteries, in its original “Athos”-order:01 Lavra
02 Vatopedi
03 Iviron
04 Chilandariou (and its Pine-forrest: read the last post of Bas Kamps)
05 Dionysiou
06 Koutloumousiou – in the background. We followed the coastline and did not fly over land.
07 Pantocratoros
08 Xiropotamou
09 Sografou – photo by Jitze Bakker, who joined me together with Tadeusz
10 Docheiariou
11 Karakallou
12 Filotheou
13 Simonos Petras
14 Pavlou
15 Stavronikita
16 Xenofontos
17 Grigoriou
18 Esfigmenou
19 Panteleimonos
20 Konstamonitou – in the far right corner of this picture.
More about this flight, the pilot and how to book it in a next post.
