To reach this, one simply follows the coast road up to the end. Indeed, the way is from the local end only a grit runway, however, can be used by vehicles as well as pedestrians comfortably up to border wall. It leads in olive groves, orchards and kitchen gardens as well as in the ruins of the Frangokastello, one of the oldest byzantine cloisters, directly before the border, where already the minster and also some graves of former abbots could be discovered.
Possibly on half a way one gets to a well from which, unfortunately, rarely a drop of water comes. Here is a signpost which mentions once the before named distance straight ahead as well as a beaten path to the right which leads at first directly along the seashore. This path is provided about the whole length over and over again with small signs which show a trident. If one follows these, one takes in the possibly unwieldy way to the border for which the first monks have gone at that time. Steady footwear should be carried in addition in any case. Substantially more comfortably - and also not much further - is anyway the before described grit runway.
At the border signs draw the attention unambiguously to the fact that it does not go on here. The only (official) access to the monk's republic is about the port Dafni, although a finished gate announces other in the border fence. At least if beyond the border wall minibuses stand whose purpose one could otherwise question - in any case, this approach is used above all by the civil workers in the monk's republic.
To the entry apply austere determinations which do not enable absolutely to everybody to visit the holy mountain.
