Terraced gardens

The pier and the terraced gardens of Simonopetra Monastery from its balcony.

Mount Athos, Greece.

eeek!

I'm not frightened of heights but that might do me in!

You were ok with it? or was it like you quickly ducked out onto the veranda, took a look, took a photo and retreated to a more safe-feeling place?

I was OK with it, I am not a great fan of safe spaces in general and try to expose myself to new, confusing and scary places and experiences (and especially people I disagree with a lot).

But some guys, who had fear of heights were very worried. And they did not have to hide it and pretend that they were OK because there were no girls around ), women are not allowed to set foot on Mount Athos at all (so it is kind of a safe space for boys in that respect :)).
