Mount Athos is a Greek peninsular-island named after the mountain at its far end. It is a religious area with 20 monasteries, and, like the Vatican, it has autonomy to run things its own way, which means only men over the age of 18 are allowed to visit. Incense made in the area is popular among Catholics. The monks specialise in frankincense, a tree resin from the Boswellia tree family which grows in parts of Africa and India. The Boswellia tree doesn't grow in the Mount Athos region, but the monks there have developed their own recipes for grading and blending the resins with fragranced white powders. Mount Athos frankincense is sold to tourists and online to church suppliers and churches.
