Athos is a famous peninsula, also known as "Holy Mountain," that extends from the coast of Macedonia into the Aegean Sea, terminating in Mount Athos. There have been twenty Orthodox ([[Christian]]) monasteries located on Athos, safeguarding important historical manuscripts and works of art.
'''Athos''' is one of the Gigantes in [[Greek mythology]]. He threw a huge rock at Poseidon but missed and it came down at the south of the [[Oros Athos]] peninsula where now lies [[Mount Athos]] or the Holy Mountain.<ref>http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/athos.html</ref>
