Vigla (Greek: Βίγλα) is a settlement in Mount Athos. It is located at the southeastern edge of the Athos peninsula.[1]
The settlement of Vigla on the southeastern tip of the Athonite peninsula is not to be confused with Megali Vigla, a 510 metre-high peak within the Mount Athos monastic territory that is less than 1.5 km from the border with Greece.[2]
