The authors of the English-language blog athosweblog shared list of references on the Holy Mountain.

“Every time before I go on a pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain, I go into my favorite bookstore of Mr. Drosinos in Ouranoupoli, which was founded in 1974. Gospodin Drosinos and his staff are very patient, and most of the time when I go there, they know how to surprise me with new edition of books about Athos.

This year I saw a new book about Athos wines, but, to my regret, the book store was in the Greek language. The staff asked me to come back later in the day, because they were convinced that the book was also published in English. And they were right, they found me an English version,” wrote the blogger.
