1254 – Greek Police Arrest Abbot Efraim of Vatopedi Monastery on Mount Athos

Posted on 04/01/2012 by athos

The Greek procurator’s office accused Father Efraim of striking a number of deals in exchanging several cheap plots of land belonging to Vatopedi for expensive property in Athens. Investigators believe that these deals caused the loss of at least 100 million Euros to the government. Fr Efraim himself declared his innocence and rejected the charges against him. He’ll stay under arrest until the end of the court proceedings. Because of of his heath condition the abbot will be taken to a prison hospital in Thessaloniki.

Also see 1159 of our old weblog (without photos).

This brings me to something else: I have been waiting for almost 4 months for our old weblog to return, but unfortunately the pictures are still missing. As you can see, at least all posts are back on athos.weblog.nl and the texts did return in the meanwhile, so I have hope the pictures will follow one day, That is why I decided the start publishing again on athos.weblog.nl from the 1st of January 2012. Hope to see back on our old adress.

1253 – Athos trip 2011 on You Tube

Posted on 04/01/2012 by athos

Athos – The movie part III 2011, with the following scenes: boat trip from Ouranopoli to Dafni with Arsanas Sografou, Docheiariou, Xenofontos and Panteleimonos, arriving in Dafni, Karyes, Iviron, Koutloumousiou, Karakalou, Kelli Timiou Stavrou (bells played by Father David), Lavra (Ossuarium) and Skiti Prodromou and back in Ouranopolis.

After climbing the mountain in a hike of 9 hours I was so tired that I forgot to shoot new videos. Brother Herman made this fine film of the top:

1252 – a trip to the Athos border and Zygou monastery (or Frankokastro)

Posted on 04/01/2012 by athos

One of our traditional hikes on the day before entering Athos, is the short walk to the border.

The distance is only 2,2 km and it takes about 25 minutes.

At the border you will find a closed gate. The Tsantali bus is to be seen on the other side, waiting for visitors to bring them to the vineyards of Chromitsa. Later this month I will show you how this gate will be opened…….. (also see this blog).

Visiting Zygou monastery: plastic covers your shoes, to protect the glass plates, which are placed over the mosaic-floor of the ruined katholicon.

Zygou: part of a painting is still to be seen

1251 – Athos article in Dutch in newspaper NRC and a “travel alert”

Posted on 04/01/2012 by athos

To our Dutch readers: buy todays NRC newspaper to read this article by Lex Veldhoen, who visited Athos this spring. As you can read later in this blog, the discussion (or confusion) about how many days your Diamoniterion permits you to stay on the Holy Mountain, three of four days, goes on. We always thought that you have three nigths on Athos and that you had go back the fourth day. In Karyes we have been told that the permission is granted for four nights!

Another thing: if you want to leave for Athos at 9.45 h. here a warning: the big boat Panteleimon is out of order and the traffic is devided between small boats. You have make resevation for these small boats, otherwise you be left standing on the quay of Dafni, as we experienced op October 3th (for more information about this “travel alert” look here). If you want to avoid this trouble, take the large Agia Anna boat at 6.30 from Ouranopolis and at 15.45 (mo to fr) from Dafni. Even better is: we (8 p.) took a privat taxi boat for € 150 from Dafni back to Ouranopolis, a little more expensive, but much quicker!

1250 – Amouliani Island

Posted on 04/01/2012 by athos

All these years we visited Ouranopolis, we have been looking at the island of Amalouliani: this year we took the opportunity to visit the island. According to our taxidriver Fotis the Southern Islands of Amouliani have the finest beaches in Greece. Just rent a boat for a few euro at Hotel Akrogiali and enjoy the beaches, the fine food and the excellent view of Mount Athos!

The Island has been a Metochi of Vatopediou until the first World War. Due to expropriations the island was lost to Athos (Feigl book).

1249 – new Athos map (and some older ones)

Posted on 04/01/2012 by athos

A new Athos map is published 2011 by Rama Editions.

New Athos map

It is for sale for 7 or 8 euros in the bookshop opposite of the tower in Ouranopolis. The owner was sceptical about the quality, because the monastery Koutloumousiou was missing, and indeed he is right.

To give you an idea of what it looks like, I made this picture (on purpose unsharp, because of copyrights).

Here some more information about the publisher:

My local bookshop in Amsterdam told me that Road Edition maps has gone broke, but the Greek bookshop owner said this publisher will continue his business and be back with new maps. We’ll wait and see.

Here some older maps that I have collected lately:

1248 – News about our last visit to Athos

Posted on 04/01/2012 by athos

This year we visted the Holy Mountain from October 3th till October 6th with 8 pilgrims: just as last visit in 2009 we split up in two groups (Herman’s and Wim’s group).

Before telling our travel stories and showing the pictures in detail, here are some highlights of our 2011 trip and some tips:

A glass-bottem tourist boat bringing pilgrims to Athos

1. beware if you want to leave at 9.45 h.: the big Panteleimon boat is out of service, so you have to make a reservation for a small boat. We found out the hard way on our last day on the quay of Dafni, when the boat back to Ouranopoli left without us. A good alternative is: take the Agia Anna boat at 6.30: no reservation needed and you will have some extra hours on your first day. Even better is: order a privat taxi boat back to Ouranopoli (€ 120).

Waiting for the permssion (photo thanks to Jitze)

2. if you want ask for permission in Karyes to stay an extra day, inform if there is meeting of the Holy Epistatia. After arriving at 10 we had to wait till 12 o’clock until they were ready for us: at 12.30 we left without the permission, because they were still gathering…… And, never trust the Athos-guards in this building: according to them a Diamoniterion for non-orthodox visitors was valid for four nights, so asking for permission for one extra should not be neccesary. Believe me: the permission is valid for three nights, and you have to leave on day four.

But there was one advantage of waiting so long in Karyes: I was able to take pictures of almost all Konaki’s (houses of the monasteries) in this small town.

3. There lives a Dutch Orthodox monk in Karakalou! Brother Pachomios already lives for four months in this monastery and told us a lot about monastic live and orthodoxy.

4. I climbed the Holy Mountain for the first time in my live (and will never do it again!). After a start in Prodromou at 08.00 we arrived at the junction Stavrou at 11. Together with pilgrim Peter I decided to give it a try and go for the top: almost 7 hours later I arrived safely in Skiti Anna, more death then alive, totally exhausted, but happy and satisfied!

Wim crossing the Athos border by foot, a special moment!

5. try to visit Chromitsa: it took some effort to come there, not by taxi-boat as planned, but simply by walking over the Athos-border, with it was worth every second!

6.meet important people: after returning from Athos and the Tsantali tour we came close to meet the Patriarch of Constantinopolis on the pier of Ouranopoli. Later that day the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, arrived at the same spot: we only saw his blinded limousine passing, togehter with a lot of security-men. A rumour that Putin also came to visit Athos showed out to be false.

More will be published soon.

1247 – Ouranopoli, October 1st and 2nd 2011

Posted on 04/01/2012 by athos

Our pilgrimage to Mount Athos 2011 started in Amsterdam. After a short break in Budapest we arrived in Saloniki. We choose not the spent time on travelling by bus, so we asked a taxi driver to wait for us at the airport. With the help Jan Paul ten Bruggencate we booked a taxi for € 120 from a nice guy named Fotis (tel 00 30 693 6955000). This friendly and English speaking taxidriver brought us in 2,5 hours to our hotel Akrogiali, with a view over the Meditarrenean Sea (from October low season prizes € 16 – 20 for a triple or double room).

View of Athos/Chromitsa from hotel Akrogiali

After a lovely meal with sea-bass at Kritikos, one of the best restaurants in town, we passed the old tower, where Sydney en Joyce Loch once lived, now a museum.

Next day we had a look at the new pier being build on the north side of Ouranolpoli, near the Pilgrims bureau.

Later that morning a high ranked Russian clergyman took a speedboat to Athos.

1245 – Athos weblog temporarily relocated to athosweblog.wordpress.com

Posted on 14/10/2011 by athos

Because of the problems with our Athos weblog on weblog.nl (most of our photo archive is still missing !), we decided to continue our work in low profile mode at the internet adress above.

We hope this will be a temporarily situation, in time we expect to be back on our old adress.

1244 – Athos trip 2011

Posted on 30/09/2011 by athos

Herman, Bas, Jaap, Jitze and Peter,Winfried an me, Sept 30th 2009

Tomorrow our next pilgrimage to Mount Athos starts. As you can see, the weblog continues to disfunction and after 5 weeks it still not as it should be. Weblog.nl should be ashamed, but they say they are working hard to get things right. We have be patient:

In the meanwhile we will be gone for one week: this photo is shot exactly two years ago, on our last trip to Athos in 2009, Septemer 30th. Tomorrow we hope to sit on the same spot again !

1243 – Athos weblog is back ! (more or less…..)

Posted on 21/09/2011 by athos

Dear readers,

Due to migration problems from Typepad to WordPress our weblog has been out of order for almost one month. We are sorry for that, but we couldn’t do anything about it.

And problems are not over yet: most of our archive (more then 1000 posts) is still missing and the the lay-out is not as it should be (only one column and still no categories or links). Recently we are able to upload photo’s again, but we hope everything will be ready soon and that we’ll be back in buiseness.

In the meanwhile our preparations for our next Athos pilgrimage are almost finished. On October first we will fly to Thessaloniki ….

1241 – Athos phone book

Posted on 16/08/2011 by athos

I found this phonebook in Greek on the internet and translated it in English with Google translate. I tried to ajust the wrong translations as good as possible, but with my poor knowlegde of the Greek language, I am sure this post contains a lot of mistakes.

I want to take the opportunity to ask something to our readers. We (8 pilgrims) will arrive in Greece on the 1st of Oktober to visit Athos and I would like to know what it will cost to take a taxi from the airport to Ouranopolis (x80 90 in 2007)? Do you know a reliable taxi driver ? How much faster will a taxi trip be, if you compare it with a Ktel bustour? Please mail me.

1239 – Athos June 2011: Marouda and Skiti Andreou (Serail)

Posted on 19/07/2011 by athos

Today I’ll continue to show the pictures of pilgrim J.P. ten Bruggencate, who visited Athos last June.

The large kellion called Marouda, not far from Karyes and Skiti Andreou

View from the balcony, with the Serail in the background

A zoom in on the Serail. This corner of the building is still a ruin, the rest of the large building complex is newly renovated.

Father Makarios of Marouda

Marouda: Fresco from May 9th 1796 of the Panaghia with Child and two Saints: Ounofrios and Peter the Athonite

Marouda: The iconostasis

Marouda: clocks with Father Makarios and Jan Paul ten Bruggencate

Skiti Andreou

Skiti Andreou – bells with the main church in scaffolds. The renovation of the domes is finished and and the gold shines again!

Skiti Andreou – the courtyard. Nowadays the old bells are protected by professional build roof. Look here to see this spot in 2007.

This is what George told us about the bells in June 2009:

Hi Wim, I can confirm that these bells were removed from the enormous bell tower at the entrance of the sketes main church of St. Andrew. (definately not from the deserted Ukraine building near Skiti Provata)I remember ringing these bells on St. Andrews day in 1993 or 1994 with some co-students whilst we were studying at the Athonias Academy. At this time the bells were still hanging in the bell tower. In particular the large bell created a deep thunderous sound which we were later informed was heard clearly at the Skete of Prophet Ilias near Pantocratoros Monastery. The staircase leading up to the clock and bells is very narrow and winding. Its a beautiful church and skete, I cannot wait untill it is returned to its former glory.

Skiti Andreou – relic: a piece of the skull of …. ?

The magnificant iconostasis of the 111 years old church

The entrance to Athos Academy: Athonias (to see the pupils play soccer look here).

(from 21/7/2011 I’ll be on a 3-week holiday visiting Sri Lanka with wife and daughters: Greece/Athos is to hot for me, today the temperature in Vatopedi reached 37 degrees!)

1238 – again: Women on Athos?

Posted on 12/07/2011 by athos

Vasilis showed me this article published today, from Sasa Milosevic, a journalist of Huffingtonpost.com. The article does not give us a lot of new information about the subject, but it does lead to us to some interesting links concerning the “women on Athos”-issue. For me personally I get a little bit tired of these kind of articles. What’s the point writing about it, when there actual is no news?

And yes, it is absolutely true that the Avaton does not give women equal rights and yes, it is not normal in a modern civil society to ban women from equallity, but Mount Athos is a different place than anywhere else in this world, and this is how it should be. Some things are not equal, just get used to it.

So sorry girls, no Mount Athos for you. But do not dispair, this web-log gives you a chance to see what we (men) can experience. Just have a look at the magnificant view from the 2033 high mountain!

1237 – Athos June 2011: Stavronikita

Posted on 10/07/2011 by athos

Pilgrim Jan Paul ten Bruggencate visited Stavronikita in June and was willing to share his pictures with us.

Stavronikita: a view of Pantocratoros

A classical shot: the aquaduct with the monastery and its tower. It is good that Hollywood filmmakers are not allowed to work here!

The aquaduct with a palm tree: maybe once it will be as big as the palm tree in Georgiou!

Stavronikita and the Holy Mountain

Ag. Nicolaos

A new fresco above a door in Stavronikita. What struck me was the resemblance between the Saint Nicolas on the right and an icon I own of Saint Nicolas: could it have been the same icon-painter? On the left corner I found a name (dia cheiros – Vas P. Mapea??), and mine is painted by the Pachomaioi brothers, so I think they must be different artists, although they are very similar in every detail.

1236 – Pascha at Karoulia on Russian TV

Posted on 07/07/2011 by athos

In this Russian documentary, broadcasted in April 2011, you can see extraordinary footage of Karoulia with its hermit caves.

At the end of this short TV item Maria the (Russian speeking!) restaurant owner in Ouranopolis showes up, who is actually from Georgia and lived in Greece for more then 20 years!

1235 – the Koutloumousiou Garden Project

Posted on 06/07/2011 by athos

This week the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture (Academie van Bouwkunst) launched a project of four students, who’s assignment was to design a botanical garden for the Holy Monastery Kotloumousiou on Mount Athos. In the spring of 2011 a group landscape architecture students traveled to Athos, where they had been invited to work on concepts for garden restoration and the addition of new gardens to the thousand year old monastery.

The project was instigated by Rieks Bulthuis, Pilgrim of the Koutloumousiou monastery.

This is what their website tells:

“Twelve students work in groups on designing the garden for the Holy Monastery. At the beginning of the project students visited and studied the site and listened to the conditions and requirements, which formed the basis for the design. After eight weeks, all students delivered a design on
the gardens. After this first design period students worked further on the materialization of the plan, on planting and detailing of the conceptual ideas. After again eight weeks they presented their detailed plans. The plans were combined into a booklet and presented to the monastery”.

Four proposals by the students were made:

Project 1

Map of the area with curving wall leading downwards.

Photoshoped picture of how it could look like.

Project 2

Detailed map of the Karyes/Koutloumousiou area with the projected garden

Image of the “Pilgrim Path”

Watercolor of the plan

Project 3

Sketch of the Mountain

Plan that goes with project 3

Drawing of plan 3

Project 4

This project involves a rose garden, also for Arsanas Koutloumousiou, Kaliagra.

Artists impression

The abbot of the monastery Koutloumousiou wrote after their visit that the students’ through their openness, support and respect towards the monks way of life, have been an example for everyone in the monastery. This gave them a “welcome for the rest of their lifes” and he gave his blessing for their future development.

Soon the students travel to Greece again to give the brothers advise on the implementation of the proposed designs. The brothers chose not to realize one design, but they added together the best parts of all designs created.

The girls involved in these projects unfortunately had to stay in Thessaloniki…………..

A book about the projects will be published soon (from the Vasilis weblog).
