This is the nearest most of the voyagers will get to the semi- independent monastic polity of Mount Athos, the most easterly of three fingers of land that jut out into the north Aegean sea. For the past millennium, Athos has been barred to female visitors--there are some large convents nearby to which devout ladies are redirected--and is accessible to males only after burdensome procedures. Regulations forbid most passenger-boats from coming any nearer than 500 metres from the Athonite coast. But even at a distance, Athos exerts a powerful fascination.
