Photographer's Note
The Gregoriou Monastery (Greek: Γρηγορίου) is situated on the southwest side of the Athos Peninsula in northern Greece, between the monasteries of Dionysiou and Simonopetra. Gregoriou originally was dedicated to the St. Nicholas but later was renamed in honor of its founder, Gregory. It is ranked seventeenth in the hierarchical order of the twenty monasteries located on the Mount Athos peninsula. Gregoriou is reputed to be one of the most well-organized and strict coenobitic monasteries on the Mount Athos peninsula.

Hi Vasilis,
Spectacular old structure. This monastery looks like a fortress (and maybe that was supposed to be in the old times) . Well seen, good capture.

Hi Vasilis!
This architecture reminds me to some monasteries in Buthan.
Good POV.I like how this complex is placed between the sea ,these mountains and the deep blue sky.

Hi Vasilis
Monasteries are often built on incredible places and this one is particularly impressive and wonderul. The light on the stones gives a silver color and the contrast with the mountain and the sea is very nice.
