Mount Athos (/ˈæθɒs/; Greek: Ἄθως, [ˈa.θos]) is a mountain in the distal part of the eponymous Athos peninsula and site of an important centre of Eastern Orthodox monasticism in northeastern Greece. The mountain along with the respective part of the peninsula have been governed as the monastic community of Mount Athos, an autonomous region within the Hellenic Republic, ecclesiastically under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. Mount Athos has been inhabited since ancient times and is known for its long Christian presence and historical monastic traditions, which date back to at least AD 800 and the Byzantine era.

The Autonomous Monastic State of Mount Athos (abbr.: Mount Athos) is a self-governing part of the Greek State, located on the Athos peninsula of Chalkidiki, in Macedonia. It includes the twenty Holy Monasteries, their dependencies and various shops and services. Its status and mode of operation are determined in detail, in parallel with the Constitution of Greece, by the Statutory Charter of Mount Athos (K.CHAO.) of May 10, 1924.

Intellectually it is under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Since 1988 it has been included in the list of World Cultural Heritage Monuments.

The Athos peninsula is the easternmost and most rugged of the three parallel peninsulas (Kassandra or Pallini, Sithonia or Longos – central, and Athos or Agios Oros, ancient Greek: Akti) that make up the peninsula of Halkidiki. This peninsula is covered by Mount Athos, 2033 m high, hence its name, and ends at the cape Nymphaeo or Akrothon.

Monastic institutions
The monastic institutions of Mount Athos are distinguished into six classes: the Holy Monasteries, the Sketes, the Cells, the Kalyves, the Kathismata and the Hermitages.

Holy Monasteries

Mount Athos consists of twenty Holy Monasteries. According to the hierarchical order, the Holy Monasteries of Mount Athos, also called Athonite, which are self-governing and governed according to their internal regulations, which they vote for themselves and are approved by the Holy Community, are the following:

Holy Monastery of the Great Lavra (963)
Holy Monastery of Vatopedi (972)
Holy Monastery of Iveron (976)
Holy Monastery of Chilandari (1197)
Holy Monastery of Dionysios (1375)
Holy Monastery of Koutloumousios (12th century)
Holy Monastery of Pantokratoros (1363)
Holy Monastery of Xeropotamos (11th century)
Holy Monastery of Zografos (919)
Holy Monastery of Dochiarios (11th century) century)
Holy Monastery of Karakallos (1070)
Holy Monastery of Philotheos (992)
Holy Monastery of Simonos Petras (1363)
Holy Monastery of Saint Paul (11th century)
Holy Monastery of Stavronikita (1542)
Holy Monastery of Xenophon (1070)
Holy Monastery of Gregory (14th century)
Holy Monastery of Esphigmenos (11th century)
Holy Monastery of Saint Panteleimon (11th century)
Holy Monastery of Konstamonitos (1086)

All the Holy Monasteries of Mount Athos are religious spiritual institutions and all are characterized as “Sovereign”, “Royal”, “Patriarchal” and “Stavropegic”.

Sovereign because they maintain ownership and organizational self-government of their area, not subject to any limitation as to the number of monks.
Royal because their establishment was due to the order or assistance of the Byzantine Emperors or their establishment was ratified by an imperial gold decree.
Patriarchal were later named with the issuance of patriarchal relevant sigils, when they were associated with the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, which assumed their spiritual and only supervision.
Stavropegic because during their establishment a cross was placed on them, which was sent by the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

Historical documents regarding the history of ancient Mount Athos are few. We are certain that monks were already there since the 4th century. During this period, both Christians and pagans lived. After the Islamic conquest of Egypt in the 7th century, many monks from the Egyptian desert tried to find another home, and some of them came to the Athos peninsula. In 866, John Kolovos built the first monastic center, Megali Vigla. From then on, Mount Athos became the land of monastic life. In 958 AD, the monk Athanasius the Athonite arrived on Mount Athos from the Monastery of Xerolimna in Asia Minor. In 962, the large central church of the “Prototatus” was built in Karyes. The following year, with the support of Emperor Nikephoros Phocas, the monastery of the Great Lavra was founded, the largest and most important of the 20 monasteries that exist today.

From Byzantium, the Orthodox faith spread to the Balkans, and monks from these lands arrived on Mount Athos to found monasteries. Georgian monks founded the monastery of Iviri (976), the Serbs the monastery of Chilandari (1197), and the Bulgarians the monastery of Zografou (1270).
During the first two centuries of this period, more than 180 monasteries were founded with over 20,000 monks. Later, most were destroyed by the Crusades and pirates. Even these emperors built monasteries. The Christian kings of the Balkans also supported Mount Athos. The Russians founded and supported monasteries.
In 1926, Mount Athos became a self-governing part of the Greek state according to the Treaty of Lausanne (1924). According to this, it is dependent on the Patriarchate of Constantinople and supervised by Greece.

Άγιον Όρος (Mount Athos):

Η Αυτόνομη Μοναστική Πολιτεία του Αγίου Όρους (συντ.: Άγιον Όρος) αποτελεί αυτοδιοίκητο τμήμα του Ελληνικού Κράτους, που βρίσκεται στη χερσόνησο του Άθω της Χαλκιδικής, στη Μακεδονία. Περιλαμβάνει τις είκοσι Ιερές Μονές, τα εξαρτήματά τους και διάφορα καταστήματα και υπηρεσίες. Το καθεστώς και ο τρόπος λειτουργίας του καθορίζονται με λεπτομερή τρόπο, παράλληλα προς το Σύνταγμα της Ελλάδας, με τον Καταστατικό Χάρτη του Αγίου Όρους (Κ.Χ.Α.Ο.) της 10ης Μαΐου 1924.

Πνευματικά διατελεί υπό την άμεση δικαιοδοσία του Oικουμενικού Πατριαρχείου. Από το 1988 συγκαταλέγεται στον κατάλογο των Μνημείων Παγκόσμιας Πολιτιστικής Κληρονομιάς.

Η χερσόνησος του Άθω είναι η ανατολικότερη και τραχύτερη των τριών επιμέρους παράλληλων χερσονήσων (Κασσάνδρας ή Παλλήνης, Σιθωνίας ή Λόγγου – κεντρική, και Άθω ή Αγίου Όρους, αρχαία ελληνικά: Ακτή) που απαρτίζουν τη χερσόνησο της Χαλκιδικής. Η χερσόνησος αυτή καλύπτεται από το Όρος Άθως, ύψους 2033 μ., εξ ου και το όνομά της, καταλήγει δε στο ακρωτήριο Νυμφαίο ή Ακρόθωον.

Το Άγιον Όρος συνίσταται από είκοσι Ιερές Μονές. Σύμφωνα με την ιεραρχική τάξη οι Ιερές Μονές του Αγίου Όρους, καλούμενες και Αθωνικές, οι οποίες είναι αυτοδιοίκητες και διοικούνται σύμφωνα με τον εσωτερικό τους κανονισμό, τον οποίο ψηφίζουν οι ίδιες και εγκρίνει η Ιερά Κοινότητα, είναι οι εξής:

Ιερά Μονή Μεγίστης Λαύρας (963)

Ιερά Μονή Βατοπεδίου (972)

Ιερά Μονή Ιβήρων (976)

Ιερά Μονή Χιλανδαρίου (1197)

Ιερά Μονή Διονυσίου (1375)

Ιερά Μονή Κουτλουμουσίου (12ος αιώνας)

Ιερά Μονή Παντοκράτορος (1363)

Ιερά Μονή Ξηροποτάμου (11ος αιώνας)

Ιερά Μονή Ζωγράφου (919)

Ιερά Μονή Δοχειαρίου (11ος αιώνας)

Ιερά Μονή Καρακάλλου (1070)

Ιερά Μονή Φιλοθέου (992)

Ιερά Μονή Σίμωνος Πέτρας (1363)

Ιερά Μονή Αγίου Παύλου (11ος αιώνας)

Ιερά Μονή Σταυρονικήτα (1542)

Ιερά Μονή Ξενοφώντος (1070)

Ιερά Μονή Γρηγορίου (14ος αιώνας)

Ιερά Μονή Εσφιγμένου (11ος αιώνας)

Ιερά Μονή Αγίου Παντελεήμονος (11ος αιώνας)

Ιερά Μονή Κωνσταμονίτου (1086)

Όλες οι Ιερές Μονές του Αγίου Όρους αποτελούν θρησκευτικά πνευματικά ιδρύματα και όλες χαρακτηρίζονται ως «Κυρίαρχες», «Βασιλικές», «Πατριαρχικές» και «Σταυροπηγιακές».

Κυρίαρχες επειδή διατηρούν ιδιοκτησιακό και οργανωτικό αυτοδιοίκητο του χώρου τους, μη υποκείμενο σε κανένα περιορισμό ως προς τον αριθμό των μοναχών.
Βασιλικές επειδή η ίδρυσή τους οφείλεται σε εντολή ή συνδρομή των Βυζαντινών Αυτοκρατόρων ή η ίδρυσή τους επικυρώθηκε με αυτοκρατορικό χρυσόβουλο.
Πατριαρχικές ονομάστηκαν αργότερα με την έκδοση πατριαρχικών σχετικών σιγιλλίων, όταν συνδέθηκαν με το Οικουμενικό Πατριαρχείο Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, που ανέλαβε την πνευματική και μόνο εποπτεία τους.
Σταυροπηγιακές γιατί κατά την ίδρυσή τους τοποθετήθηκε σε αυτές σταυρός, ο οποίος απεστάλη από το Οικουμενικό Πατριαρχείο.

Ιστορικά έγγραφα σχετικά με την ιστορία του αρχαίου Αγίου Όρους είναι ελάχιστα. Είμαστε βέβαιοι ότι οι μοναχοί ήταν ήδη εκεί από τον 4ο αιώνα. Την περίοδο αυτή ζούσαν και οι χριστιανοί και οι ειδωλολάτρες. Μετά την ισλαμική κατάκτηση της Αιγύπτου τον 7ο αιώνα, πολλοί μοναχοί από την αιγυπτιακή έρημο προσπάθησαν να βρουν άλλη στέγη και μερικοί από αυτούς ήρθαν στη χερσόνησο του Άθω. Το 866 ο Ιωάννης Κολοβός έχτισε το πρώτο μοναστικό κέντρο, τη Μεγάλη Βίγλα. Έκτοτε, το Άγιον Όρος έγινε η χώρα της μοναχικής ζωής.

Το 958 μ.Χ., ο μοναχός Αθανάσιος ο Αθωνίτης έφθασε στο Άγιον Όρος από τη Μονή Ξερολίμνης της Μικράς Ασίας. Το 962 χτίστηκε η μεγάλη κεντρική εκκλησία του «Πρωτάτου» στην Καρυές. Την επόμενη χρονιά, με την υποστήριξη του αυτοκράτορα Νικηφόρου Φωκά, ιδρύθηκε το μοναστήρι της Μεγίστης Λαύρας, το μεγαλύτερο και σημαντικότερο από τα 20 μοναστήρια που υπάρχουν σήμερα.

Από το Βυζάντιο, η ορθόδοξη πίστη εξαπλώθηκε στα Βαλκάνια και μοναχοί από αυτά τα εδάφη έφτασαν στο Άγιο Όρος για να ιδρύσουν μοναστήρια. Γεωργιανοί μοναχοί ίδρυσαν το μοναστήρι των Ιβήρων (976), οι Σέρβοι το μοναστήρι του Χιλανδαρίου (1197) και οι Βούλγαροι το μοναστήρι του Ζωγράφου (1270).

Κατά τους πρώτους δύο αιώνες αυτής της περιόδου ιδρύθηκαν περισσότερα από 180 μοναστήρια με πάνω από 20.000 μοναχούς. Αργότερα, τα περισσότερα καταστράφηκαν από τις Σταυροφορίες και τους πειρατές.Ακόμη και αυτοί αυτοκράτορες έχτισαν μοναστήρια. Οι Χριστιανοί βασιλιάδες των Βαλκανίων στήριξαν επίσης το Άγιο Όρος. Οι Ρώσοι ίδρυσαν και υποστήριζαν μοναστήρια.

Tο 1926, το Άγιον Όρος έγινε αυτοδιοικούμενο τμήμα του ελληνικού κράτους σύμφωνα με τη συνθήκη της Λωζάννης (1924). Σύμφωνα με αυτό, εξαρτάται από το Πατριαρχείο της Κωνσταντινούπολης και εποπτεύεται από την Ελλάδα.

The Aegean sea of Greece (Hellas), Cyprus and the Greek islands

MadeinMycountry Aegean Sea of Greece (Hellas), Cyprus

The Aegean sea of Greece (Hellas), Cyprus and the Greek islands!!

https://madein-mycountry.gr

The most famous islands are in the Aegean Sea of Greece (Hellas) comprising of some of the most beautiful islands in the world! Gorgeous sandy beaches, architecture in white and blue, traditional lifestyle, folk music, incredible foods, warm, hospitable people and barren landscapes with isolated chapels turn a trip to the Aegean sea’s Greek islands into a lifetime experience!!

The Aegean Sea is named after King Aegeus of Athens, Greece (Hellas) who drowned himself in the sea after believing his son, Theseus, had died during his quest to slay the Minotaur in Crete. When Theseus forgot to hoist a white sail to signal his success, his father, Aegeus, seeing the expected black sail of defeat, threw himself from a cliff into the sea below

The Greek islands have been continuously inhabited by Greeks and have been significant for thousands of years, with human settlement dating back to the Neolithic period (c. 7000 BCE).

Major ancient civilizations like the Greek (Hellenic) Minoan (Crete), Greek (Hellenic) Cycladic, and Greek (Hellenic) Mycenaean cultures flourished on the islands, developing advanced art, architecture, and maritime skills, leaving behind a rich archaeological legacy. Today, the islands remain important cultural and historical centers, attracting visitors for their history, beauty, and unique way of life, like the famously long-lived population on Ikaria.

Some Greek islands are often located off the coasts of modern countries whose shores were already inhabited by Greeks before antiquity, such as the coasts of Asia Minor and northern Epirus. It was only in the 20th century that the displacement of Greek populations led to a change in the ethnic landscape: today, Greek-populated islands are situated near regions now inhabited by other ethnic groups, such as in Asia Minor and Northern Epirus.

The Aegean Sea of Greece (Hellas) is so blue due to a lack of phytoplankton and suspended particles, which allows sunlight to penetrate deep and scatter, reflecting the blue wavelength. Its clear, calm waters and a light-colored seafloor, often made of crushed marble, also contribute to its intense blue hue by reflecting light more effectively. The water itself also absorbs red and yellow light more than blue light, further enhancing the blue appearance, especially in large depths

One of the greatest creations of Greek Aegean civilization is its art, unique in its time, not only in the Aegean but also in the entire world. The austerity and inventiveness that characterize the artist of the Bronze Age are reflected in the artifacts he produces. Since that ancient era, the Aegean has been spiritually charged and is reflected in literature, poetry and art.

The Early Greek (Hellenic) Cycladic II (2700–2400/2300 BC) marks the heyday of the Greek (Hellenic) Cycladic civilization, with the expansion of settlements and cemeteries, the development of metalwork (bronze weapons and tools), the flourishing of marble sculpture (excellent figurines and vases) and an increase in trade exchanges with mainland Greece, Crete and the Aegean. The Early Greek Cycladic III (2300–2000 BC) is the last phase of the civilization, which is characterized by the decline and change in the characteristics of pottery.

The achievements of vase painting during the Early Greek Cycladic II and Early Greek Cycladic III periods and the introduction of polychrome in the decoration of Middle Cycladic vases certainly contributed to the emergence of painting as an important means of artistic expression. Thus, while the Early Cycladic period could be characterized as the century of sculpture for the Cyclades, the Middle Bronze Age (c. 2000–1650 BC), -Middle Cycladic- and the early Late Cycladic could justifiably claim the title of the century of great painting.

MadeinMycountry is a global platform that celebrates and supports local history, culture, art, and nature conservation efforts.

Main Ingredients: Sea & Sun

The Aegean Sea and Islands have been shaped by the sun, the sea and the invigorating winds. The local culinary traditions date back to ancient times and they are an intrinsic part of the Aegean Culture. Top quality ingredients wear the aromas of the earth: oregano, thyme, bay leaves, rosemary, lemons, and olive oil. Each island’s microclimate has contributed to the growth of flavourful produce, some of which are unique across the world.

Greens & Aromatic Plants

The Aegean landscape hides fragrant and tasty surprises to visitors who want to explore its rough barren hills and volcanic soil, its olive groves that grow on dry soil and its rocky shores. Savour boiled greens picked from the mountains, sprinkled with olive oil and lemon juice as a side dish to your grilled meat or fish dish. A large variety of aromatic plants and herbs, such as oregano, savory, marjoram and thyme flavour marinades and stews cooked in lemon sauce. Capers and crithmum (rock samphire) are two wild plants that thrive by the seashore and they make some excellent appetizers to enjoy with your tsipouro drink.

Fresh Fish & Seafood Appetizers

Fish can be cooked in various ways as long as you use your imagination… and in this department Greeks fare well. Small or medium sized fish are floured and fried in sizzling olive oil which turns them into crispy treats, sometimes served along with a tasty sourish marinade-sauce called ‘savoro’. To make this sauce locals use olive oil, quality vinegar, rosemary, and oregano – it’s the standard recipe on most of the islands.

On Tinos Island people add petimezi (grape molasses) to their food, which lends their creations a particular flavour. Other dishes you’ll love are: red mullets with a barley rusk crust on Mytilini, Lesvos Island; oven-baked fish with sesame paste (tachini) on Rhodes Island; chub mackerel with capers; grouper stew with onions; kakavia soup (made with rockfish); picarel omelette on Santorini and Syros Islands; a fish pie made with Mediterranean sand smelt on Kimolos Island; stuffed squid with rice or feta cheese, cuttlefish with fennel and olives, to name but a few…

Make sure you also taste some special mezedes (meaning titbits) with your tsipouro or ouzo drink, such as salt-cured sardines from Mytilini, grilled sun-dried chub mackerel (gouna) from Paros Island, a salad with herring roe from Syros Island, marinated anchovies and salt-cured tuna.

Shellfish

Delicious summer teasers!

With the thousands dispersed islands, the deep blue clear seas, and the innumerable leeward bays, Greece is the ideal place for hundreds of shelfish to be found in abundance. Hundreds of species of shellfish reside in the Greek seas. No matter what the geographical variation of their names is, they keep the aromas of the sea well enclosed in their tiny bodies.

Mussels, with their black lustrous colour and the hair between the two shells, are usually attached on rocks in shallow waters. Oysters are stunning like scarlet gems with an iodine scent. Scallops are well-known for their brackish taste and their tender heart well protected by the hard shell.

Pen shells stand on the bottom of the sea – sometimes ajar- on the alert for capturing their food; their allies are two little shrimps that bite their tender parts whenever there is enemy at the gates. With a taste reminiscent of oyster, there are the red and sharp arca shells. Thorny sea urchins encompass gold and red eggs. Sea figs resemble hairy stones in a dark khaki tone. Clams shine in their brownish shell which keeps their skin juicy and delicious.

The sea on your table

Raw or cooked, shellfish reach the top of their taste potential when served with lemon. Here are our suggestions:

Mussels: hot with just a drop of olive oil; fried with feta, oregano and other spices; in souvlaki; in a mussel pilaf.
Clams, oysters, sea figs and arca shells are best when eaten raw with lemon.
Pen shells: when fried they taste like crabs.
Sea urchins provide irresistible delicious salads with a strong sea aroma.
Scallops are wonderful whether grilled, fried, or cooked with pasta on a tomato sauce.

Gastronomy

Diving into omega-3’s

Rich in polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, shellfish armour health as they prevent from heart diseases and hypertension, they reduce the effects of diabetes, and they stimulate your libido. What is more, they contain proteins, calcium, phosphorous, iodine, and low-calorie carbohydrates.

Tips for shellfish lovers

Opening a shellfish is a small adventure. The easiest way is to put a knife at the slit between the two shells and twist it softly. Then detach the skin. When it comes to sea urchins, use a knife to open its mouth.
