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>
