Just before reaching their destination, they also visited the Kakovo Monastery \u2014 a metochion of the Hilandar monastery, an unavoidable stop for all those traveling to Mount Athos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a journey on bicycles of about 500 kilometers, they crossed the final part of the path by ferry, as no other way to reach the Hilandar Monastery exists.
