Kafsokalyvia (Greek: Καυσοκαλύβια, lit. 'burning hut') is a settlement and idiorrhythmic skete located on Mount Athos. It is located at the southern edge of the Athos peninsula. Kafsokalyvia is named after Maximos Kausokalybites ("Maximos the Hut Burner"), a 14th-century Christian hermit.[2]
It is also known as the Holy Trinity Skete (Greek: Σκήτη Αγίας Τριάδος, romanized: Skiti Agias Triados).[2]
There are 40 cells in Kafsokalyvia, not all of which are occupied. As of 2014, there were 35 monks living at Kafsokalyvia (Speake 2014).[2] The population at the 2021 census was 25.[1]
A regular ferry service connects the port of Kafsokalyvia[3] with Dafni, the main port of Mount Athos.[4]
