Whether it is the queen princess or ordinary women, without exception, even female animals are bombarded when they approach the island. When boats with women pass by the island, they must travel on the sea 500 meters away from the island. After successfully applying for entry, travelers must carry out activities according to the schedule of the monastery practice, praying and dining with monks, etc. Travelers can get free food on the mountain, but they are very light.

阿索斯山是东正教的圣山,属于希腊国内的一个特殊的神权自治共和国,政治上是希腊的一个自治州。阿索斯山半岛上20间东正教修道院属于世界文化遗产。虽然阿索斯山与陆地连通,但只能靠渡船来往。进入阿索斯山访客的人数有限制,且须先获得核准。东正教的信徒可优先核准,且仅许可成年男性进入阿索斯山。为了避免干扰,女性被严厉禁止进入阿索斯山,甚至是雌性家畜也不行(猫和蛋鸡除外)。成功申请进入后,旅行者必须按照修道院修行的日程进行活动,与僧侣们共同祈祷、用餐等,旅行者能在山上获得免费得食物,但是都很清淡。
