Autonomous monks republic inside Greece territory is the centre of Eastern Orthodox Monasticism. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, it is a treasury which houses and guards many artefacts and monuments of religions, national and artistic value. It is also a "workshop" where religions arts and crafts are still practised to this day, and where deep and genuine spirituality is allowed to flourish and bear fruit. As an institution Mount Athos is, and has been, the chief standard bearer of Orthodox Christianity. There are 20 monasteries, one Serbian, one Russian, one Bulgarian and the rests are Greek. KARYES is the capital of Agion Oros.
