Near the centre of the west slope of the Athos peninsula, at the level of the sea and next to the torrent of Nevrokopos with its lush vegetation, the Xenofontos Monastery is already in its eleventh century of existence in this place, between the Monasteries Doheiariou and Panteleimonos. Its architectural plan and building construction were developed in such a way as to meet the needs of the monks, to respect the memory of the past, and to maintain a relationship of calm co-existence with the natural environment.
