The '''Monastic dwellings''' of the Holy Mountain, [[Mount Athos]], include a variety of satellite living quarters for the [[monk]]s in addition to the quarters in the central [[monastery]] complexes. These satellite quarters take various forms that depend upon the [[asceticism ]] of individual monks as well as their living conditions: [[cenobitic]] or [[eremitic]].
The dwellings for monks on Mount Athos outside the main buildings are classified into four types of dwelling, each with a different name. These are the kellion, kalyve, kathisma, and hesychasterion.
