At the end of the book The Broken Road [1], the great adventurer and writer Patrick Leigh Fermor writes about his stay on Mount Athos. This followed his 1930's journey, almost entirely on foot, from Holland down the Rhine and then along the Danube to Istanbul. The book and the two others about his trip are some of my all-time favorite bedtime reading. There's more on Mount Athos on a website devoted to Fermor: [2] [1] https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/09/books/review/patrick-leigh-fermors-broken-road.html https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/09/books/review/patrick-leig...
