By decision of the Deputy Commander of Mount Athos, the suspension of all pilgrimage visits is extended until December 15, 2020 and it is necessary to carry out preventive checks at the ports of entry of Mount Athos to anyone wishing to enter the Holy Place.
As it is pointed out, those who wish for other reasons (besides the pilgrimage) to enter the Athonite State must undergo a rapid test and if they are found positive they will be barred from entering. It will only be allowed to those who live within the Mount.
