It is built by the sea, on the southeastern side of the peninsula, neighboring the monasteries of Simonopetras and Dionysiou.

Gregoriou is very much a pilgrim friendly monastery with a strong sense of pastoral care.

This is today's "old courtyard", consisting of the main church of St. Nicholas and most of the surrounding buildings.

Restorations are always in progress in order to maintain the monastery as functional for the life of the brothers and pilgrims.

They produce high quality traditional Athonite incense, and natural handmade olive oil soap.
