Ouranoupoli is a quiet and welcoming village located at the border between the everyday world and the sacred lands of Mount Athos. Surrounded by calm, clear waters and gentle hills, it serves as a relaxing escape with a rich historical background. The village’s main attraction is the medieval Tower of Prosforios, a stone structure by the sea that reflects its Byzantine past. Narrow streets, family-run tavernas, and small shops selling local products contribute to the warm and authentic atmosphere of Ouranoupoli. Although it is the last stop before entering Mount Athos, accessible only to male pilgrims with special permits, visitors of all kinds come here to enjoy boat cruises along the Athos coastline, peaceful beaches, and a slower pace of life.
