Zografou monastery, St. George Zograph, Greece Halkidiki, Athos peninsula, Europe


The Holy Monastery of Zographou is hidden on a wooded hillside on the south-western side of the Athos peninsula. Down to the early 19th century, monks of Greek and Serbian origin lived together with the Bulgarians at the Monastery, but from 1845 onwards it has been purely Bulgarian.
