Mount Athos is a semi-autonomous state within northeastern Greece, with over a thousand years of history and is the spiritual centre for all of Orthodox Christianity. One of the customs practised on the holy mountain forbids any female from accessing Mount Athos, making it the only territory in the world with an all-male population. After gaining access to hundreds of photos, maps and documents and speaking to people who have worked on the mountain, we’re going to unpack what life is like on this all-male territory, and ask the question why are women banned from Mt Athos.
