Rachoni

Rachoni is a mountain village where you can get from the resort of Skala Rachoni, passing by the turn-off to the village of Ag. Georgios. These two villages are separated from each other with a valley, with Ag. Georgios standing on the ridge of one mountain, and the village of Rachoni built in a cascade in the foothills of the mountain on the opposite side. Rachoni is a nice village where you can find ´vakufia´ - the property of Athos monasteries, traditional houses, a square with a huge plane tree, tavernas and cafés. On the edge of the village, you will find the Church of Kimisis Theotoku from the 19th century where a fair is held every year on August 15, during which the Greek speciality of stifado is served.
