Money is not an issue. But unless your a man, you can't get in, period.
Oh, you mean you want to live there. No problem, just change your religion.
"Residents on the peninsula must be men aged 18 and over who are members of the Eastern Orthodox Church and also either monks or workers"
- nanis 5y ago> Good luck going to Mount Athos OK, so here we once again have a situation where the price mechanism is not allowed to operate. For a moment, I thought this was a private gated community in San Fransisco. > Mount Athos (/ˈæθɒs/; Greek: Άθως, [ˈa.θos]) is a mountain and peninsula in northeastern Greece and an important centre of Eastern Orthodox monasticism. It is governed as an autonomous polity within the Hellenic Republic. Mount Athos is home to 20 monasteries under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. Oh, another religious membership test. How is this at all pertinent to the functioning of the price mechanism? Especially when it is government enforced? > Although Mount Athos is legally part of the European Union like the rest of Greece, the Monastic State of the Holy Mountain and the Athonite institutions have a special jurisdiction which was reaffirmed during the admission of Greece to the European Community (precursor to the EU).[5] This empowers the Monastic State's authorities to regulate the free movement of people and goods in its territory; in particular, only males are allowed to enter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Athos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Athos
