"You chant in Simonopetra and it is heard in Hades...", as the verse says and is reproduced in his post by the former Prime Minister, who also notes that "a visit to Mount Athos is always an opportunity that you should not miss. A journey through history, to cultural treasures that have been preserved for centuries, but also to the deepest meaning of human existence."
