Activity Description

Our next adventure is a man's affair!

A special excursion to a mountain that stands out from the rest of the mountains of the Greek territory due to its morphology, history and connection with the Christian faith. The imposing Mount Athos dominates the southern part of the peninsula and its conical shape seems to mushroom through the sea. Access is possible only by sea, by boat from Ouranoupolis.

The program in detail:

Saturday 22/10

  • Departure from the Everest of Voulgari at 03.45 in the morning.
  • Arrival in Ouranoupolis around 6 to take the boat at 6.30 for Mount Athos.
  • We arrive around 10.00 at the port (arsanas) of the Skete of Agia Anna and start our ascent (approximately 6 hours).
  • We arrive at the church of Panagia which has space and is used as a shelter where we will spend the night.

Sunday 23/10

  • We leave early in the morning for the top (2.5 hours).
  • We start our descent to the port to take the boat at 13.15.
  • Return to Thessaloniki around 19.00

The ascent:

  • Peak altitude 2033m
  • Shelter altitude 1500m

The ascent is intensely uphill and requires good physical condition.

We start from scratch and therefore on the first day we have an altitude difference of 1500m, lasting 6 hours and a distance of 6km and on Sunday an altitude difference of about 600m, lasting 2.5 hours and a distance of 2km.
