Mount Athos: The Greek peninsula that bans women
Original: Mount Athos, the Greek stronghold that bans women from entering
Mount Athos, an autonomous monastic peninsula in northern Greece, remains off-limits to women under a centuries-old rule enforced by its Orthodox monasteries. The self-governing community, home to some twenty monasteries, restricts entry to male visitors with special permits. The renewed attention highlights ongoing debate about the ban's compatibility with Greek and European equality laws.
Why now: Renewed media coverage of Mount Athos's centuries-long prohibition on women entering the monastic peninsula.
