Our store in Dafni of Mount Athos - Monastiriaka

The main sea port of Mount Athos

 

The bay of Dafni (or Daphne) and its homonymous settlement are the largest (central) port of Mount Athos. It is located on the west coast of the Athonian Peninsula, very close to the Xeropotamou Monastery.

 

The stream of Dontas passes through the bay of Dafni and empties into the sea, which is also the geographical border between the Monasteries of Xeropotamou and Simonopetra.

 

Dafni Mount Athos

 

The importance of Dafni from antiquity to the present day

 

The unceasing value of the port of Dafni has been known since ancient times. According to historical data, at this place there was a temple in honor of Apollo.

 

In the recent history of Mount Athos, Dafni became a point of reference, as here, after 488 years of Ottoman occupation, the Greek flag was raised on November 2, 1912.

 

The key location of Dafni stands out to this day, being the first stop for pilgrims, who come to visit the monastic state of Athos.

 

During the winter season, the port of Dafni often remains blocked due to weather conditions and strong winds that do not allow ferry boats and ships to sail. Prohibition notices are issued by the Port Authority of Mount Athos and block the port for approximately 30-40 days a year.

Προσευχή για την Ελλάδα

Δέσποτα Κύριε ο Θεός ημών, Εσύ είσαι ο πλούσιος σε έλεος και ευσπλαχνία και συγκαταβαίνεις να εισακούεις τις προσευχές μας, προσευχές και κραυγές ικεσίας αμαρτωλών δούλων σου. Συ με τη σοφή φιλάνθρωπη πρόνοιά σου διευθύνεις και κυβερνάς τη ζωή όλων μας, τη ζωή όλων των ανθρώπων. Και όταν μας παιδαγωγείς με τα διάφορα δυσάρεστα για μας γεγονότα και θλίψεις, επιδιώκεις να μας επαναφέρεις στο αρχαίο κάλλος και την πρώτη ευγένεια που χάσαμε με τη συμβουλή του εχθρού της σωτηρίας μας διαβόλου. «Θέλεις πάντας ανθρώπους σωθήναι και εις επίγνωσιν αληθείας ελθείν» (Α´ Τιμ. β´ 4).
