Dear Greek friends/ dear all
I`ll spend my summer vacation on Pefkohori . During that time I plan to visit Holly Mountain Athos , Hilandar Monastery. I arrange entry visa , and my visit had been authorized.
My question is how far is Ouranoupolis from Pefkohori and thruugh which towns or villages I should pass .I will go by car.

Jeffs route is spot on, but you've gotta allow time for traffic. Depending on when you come and when you plan to drive there, if it's a weekend then 3-4 hours is a good guess. I live in Polygyros, on a good day it takes me about 45 minutes to get down to Hanioti, on a bad day in summer it can take 3 hours! Come the end of July and August I don't venture down Kassandra at all if I don't have too.
Take in the roads, some are small twisty....speed limits (the police can be anywhere) and traffic (busy on weekends), missing turns (it happens, even with a map), I'd give myself 4 hours.
Get yourself a decent road map, like this one www.road.gr/road_en/maps/maps.asp?id=34
Remeber time and distance can't be judged without knowing the roads. Also, if you're driving back after dark, keep your speed down and watch out for animals especially on the more remote roads.
Nic!

Is there a boath that you can take from Pefkohori (or near by place) to Mountain Athos?
Thank you, Ivica
