A visit that he wanted to make for a long time was made possible by George Karavas and will definitely repeat it. The well-known model, together with two friends, was found for 24 hours at the Simonos Petra Monastery in Mount Athos for prayer and contemplation.

The Holy Patriarchal and Crusader Monastery of Simonos Petra, also called Simonopetra, is one of the twenty monasteries of Mount Athos and ranks thirteenth in the hierarchy of Athonian monasteries. It is built at an altitude of 300 meters from the sea on a granite rock and has been destroyed three times by fire in the past. It is located approximately in the middle of the left coast of Hersonissos. It is around 2.30 hours from Dafni and around 45 minutes of steep uphill road from the little port of the monastery.

And this route was taken by George Karavas and his two friends to be among the monks, to worship and find peace. In the photos posted by Giorgos Karavas from his short stay there, his wife Rafaela Psarrou commented that just by looking at the photos you are calm.
