Le mont Athos, la Sainte Montagne, occupe la plus orientale des trois p\u00e9ninsules de Chalcidique, longue de 50 km et culminant au sommet de l\u2019Athos, \u00e0 2 033 m\u00e8tres. C\u2019est une partie autonome de la Gr\u00e8ce plac\u00e9e sous l\u2019autorit\u00e9 spirituelle du patriarche \u0153cum\u00e9nique de Constantinople, avec pour capitale Kary\u00e8s et 20 monast\u00e8res orthodoxes o\u00f9 vivent environ 2 000 moines. Des moines y vivent depuis plus de mille ans, et la p\u00e9ninsule est inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l\u2019UNESCO depuis 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women have been barred from Athos since a decree of 1046, a rule known as the avaton. Men can visit with a permit called the diamonitirion, issued by the Pilgrims\u2019 Bureau in Thessaloniki: only 100 Orthodox and 10 non-Orthodox visitors are admitted each day, applications open up to six months ahead, and the permit allows a stay of four days and three nights, sleeping in the monasteries. Pilgrims show it at Ouranoupoli before boarding the ferry to the port of Dafni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Informations pour les visiteurs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone, women included, can see Athos from the sea. Sightseeing boats from Ouranoupoli sail along the south-west coast, keeping their distance from the shore, past monasteries such as Docheiariou, Xenophontos, St Panteleimon with its green Russian domes, and Simonopetra, perched on a rock high above the sea. Cruises last a few hours and usually cost about \u20ac25\u201340 per person; some include a swimming stop or a visit to the island of Ammouliani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ouranoupoli, dernier village avant la fronti\u00e8re de l\u2019\u00c9tat monastique, poss\u00e8de une tour byzantine sur le front de mer, des plages et de nombreux h\u00f4tels, si bien que beaucoup de visiteurs y passent une nuit. Les bateaux partent du port le matin, et en \u00e9t\u00e9 il vaut mieux r\u00e9server la veille.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ouranoupoli se trouve \u00e0 environ 140 km au sud-est de Thessalonique, soit environ 2 h 30 en voiture, et des bus KTEL de Chalcidique y vont depuis Thessalonique. Des excursions d\u2019une journ\u00e9e au d\u00e9part de Thessalonique et des stations baln\u00e9aires de Chalcidique incluent aussi la croisi\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
