Depends if you just want to visit or join a monastery.
The island is a self regulating, autonomous theocracy. Women are literally not allowed on there. You can only visit for a maximum amount of four days. It has an continuous Christian tradition of 1800 years. The Mountain is considered holy by all major orthodox dominations, which are all present on the island.

If you find the time, have a look at this documentary. It captures the beauty and spirit of mount Athos perfectly
