Episode description
Ouzo Talk journeys to the historic and holy peninsula of Mount Athos for episode 80 to discover the history, relics, Saints and mystique behind this unique monastic community. From the belt of the Virgin Mary and the hand of Mary Magdalene, to stories of a far-right, anarchist Monastery in the area, this is a must-listen. With renowned academic Vasilias Adrahtas as our guide, Tom and Nick are left in awe of the significant relics and stories that have graced this small – but significant - part of the North of Greece for over a millennium.
