Athos: The Holy Mountain by Sydney Loch is a fascinating exploration of Mount Athos, a place steeped in myth, legend, and ancient traditions. This rugged pyramid rises from the Aegean Sea and is home to twenty Eastern Orthodox monasteries12. Sydney Loch, who lived in the shadow of the mountain in Ouranopolis, spent many years exploring Athos. His book provides a vivid and enthralling portrait of this mysterious place, which claims to be the oldest democracy in the world12. The monks who inhabit this isolated region still use the Julian calendar and live on Byzantine Time, where each day starts at sunset12. If you re interested in historical and cultural explorations, this book might be a great addition to your reading list. Seller Inventory # ABE-1723031380845
