A pristine Greek gem
In Greek, Ouranopoli means ‘the city of heaven’ – a fitting description for the place that is the gateway to spiritual Mount Athos – a Unesco World Heritage site and home to 20 monasteries. Even if you aren’t planning a pilgrimage, the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful landscapes experienced on Ouranopoli holidays will certainly feel like paradise. The town is located in eastern Halkidiki on the Athos peninsula. This is considered the most pristine part of Greece, as the soil and water in the area is untainted, and you’ll sample some truly delicious local cuisine.
Ouranopoli is the last stop for pilgrims who visit from around the world to spend time in the holy monasteries of Mount Athos. There’s an undeniable spiritual vibe here, and you’ll often see monks and priests in their black outfits walking the streets. Religion and spirituality aside, there’s plenty to see and do on holidays to Ouranopoli, including lazing around on fabulous sandy beaches, exploring historical ruins and discovering the charming village.
