Description: Nice stamp. Russia had many post offices in the Turkish Empire which were run by ROPiT. General issues were in use throughout the period but several local overprints were introduced in 1909. This included the offices at S.Afon, Jaffa, Constantinople, Mytilene, Salonika and Mount Athos. Other Russian POs in Greece were at Kandia, Volos (Thessaly), Port Lagos (Thrace), Khios and Rhodes. South Afon - Mount Athos is a mountain and peninsula in Greece. A World Heritage Site and autonomous polity in the Hellenic Republic, Athos is home to 20 stavropegial Eastern Orthodox monasteries under the direct jurisdiction of the patriarch of Constantinople. Today Greeks commonly refer to Mount Athos as the "Holy Mountain". In Classical times, while the mountain was called Athos, the peninsula was called Acte or Akte.
