The whole place is very interesting not only Simonopetra (although it is one of the most photogenic probably). I have pictures of it from the outside too (you can hit "simonopetra" tag at the bottom of this entry to get there or "mount athos" in general). Visiting Mount Athos was a dream of mine for a while and I spent two weeks there last December. It is a very unique place.
