Mylopotamos (Greek: Μυλοπόταμος) is a settlement in Mount Athos. It is located just to the northwest of the arsanas (harbor) of Filotheou Monastery.[1] The seat of Mylopotamos is known as the kathisma of Agios Efstathios.

Mylopotamos, a dependency of the Monastery of Great Lavra, is known for its winery and vineyards.[2]

In 1990, Father Epiphanios of Mylopotamos bought Mylopotamos area from the Monastery of Great Lavra for 2 million drachma, or about 6,000 euros.[3] Epiphanios revived Mylopotamos, which was dilapidated when he arrived there in 1990, and made it well-known across the world as a center of Athonite cooking and gastronomy.[4]
