restored churches. But the historical and artistic importance of this ancient sacred site still makes it well
worth a visit.

The exterior is not especially attractive, but it occupies a fine setting in a garden with palms and pine
trees. The west facade is plain, flat, and square, but the east side looks more like a typical Byzantine
church. The interior is exceptionally spacious, covered with a dome 10 meters in diameter. Unusually, it
rests on a square drum with rounded corners rather than a circle.
Mount Athos, Greece
Politically, the peninsula is essentially self-governed. It consists of 20 main monasteries plus the capital
city and administrative center, Karyes, which is also home to a Greek governor. The 20 sovereign
monasteries, in the order of their place in the hierarchy, are:
In addition to the monasteries there are 12 sketes, smaller communities of monks, as well as many
(solitary) hermitages throughout the peninsula
Panagia Ekatontapyliani, Paros Island
The cathedral is surrounded by a high white wall built as protection from pirates; in the thickness of the
wall are rows of monastic cells, now housing a small shop and ecclesiastical museum.
After you step through the outer gate, the noise of the town vanishes, and you enter a garden with lemon
trees and flowering shrubs.
Inside, the subdued light mixes with the dun, reddish, and green tufa. The columns are classical and their
capitals Byzantine. At the corners of the dome are two fading Byzantine frescoes depicting six-winged
seraphim.
Monastery of St. John, Greece
The monastery consists of interconnecting courtyards, chapels, stairways, arcades, galleries and roof
terraces. Hidden in the walls are fragments of an ancient temple of Artemis that was destroyed in the 11th
century. The main chapel is lovely, as is the adjoining Chapel of the Theotokos, whose frescoes date
from the 12th century.
