Telegraph includes Mount Athos in Greece among 13 destinations that are stuck in a time warp.
The British newspaper presents the historical monastic Greek destination as follows:
“This mountain and peninsula in northern Greece is home to more than 2,000 monks living the ascetic life in one of 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries. Outside are allowed to visit, with special permission – so long as they aren’t female (as has been the case for more than 1,000 years). — If that doesn’t take your fancy, then simply venture into the heart of most Greek islands and you’ll find idyllic spots, where old boys still play backgammon over cold glasses of ouzo in the village caf? and monks Try Lefkada, in the Ionian – where there are the sleepy villages of the Sfakiotes region, and the gorgeous former capital of Karya.”
The complete list of destinations that are stuck in a time warp is the following:
1. Albania
