Hotel with massage services opens on Mount Athos

A health complex run by professionals on Mount Athos has recently opened.

According to the website tilegrafimanews.gr, a new complex recently opened in the port of Daphne, offering amenities like a pharmacy and physiotherapy.

In keeping with Mount Athos’ monastic traditions, the hotel restricts bookings to men, including monks, workers, and pilgrims.

According to tilegrafimanews.gr, while there was initial resistance to integrating modern establishments into the deeply spiritual environment of Mount Athos, these investments have gradually gained acceptance among locals and visitors.

The article mentions that despite these changes, the region’s strong religious and cultural identity remains intact, demonstrating that infrastructure development can align with modern needs while preserving the area’s traditions and values.
