The monuments of the Greek Orthodox religion are an integral part of the national heritage and attract a considerable number of visitors. The Byzantine and Post-Byzantine churches with their important iconography, mosaics, murals and rare icons, the imposing cathedrals, the chapels and shrines of the countryside, the monasteries, metochia (monastic dependencies) and sketae, the unique monastic state of Mount Athos (Aghio Oros) and the Meteora monasteries (Thessaly) speak for the intense dedication to our traditions and the close interconnection of art with religious worship through the centuries.
