Abstract:
In this paper we present the “special status” of Mount Athos, from the point of view of the contemporary Hellenic and European law. We examine the Avaton, and we refer to the disagreement of monks in the ratification of the Shengen Treaty. Finally, we present Greece’s and the European Union’s economic support, aiming at the protection and restoration of the Holy Mountain’s treasures.
