Mount Ganos
Mount Ganos (Greek: Όρος Γάνος), today known as Işıklar Dağı in Turkish, is a mountain in eastern Thrace, on the European side of modern-day Turkey. It rises up from the western shore of the Sea of Marmara.
The mountain was home to Christian monks and ascetics during the Byzantine period. Byzantine Christian monks and clergymen who lived on the mountain included Patriarch Athanasius I of Constantinople and Maximos of Kafsokalyvia.
Mount Ganos is basically a small mountain range that runs northeast-southwest at an approximately 70° angle. Its length in this direction is about 35 km, its width ranges from about 8 to 11 km, and its summit is 924 m above sea level.
On the north side, Mount Ganos rises abruptly from the Thracian plain. To the east is the Sea of Marmara, where the northern edge of the undersea Tekirdağ Basin also rises up sharply to form Mount Ganos's eastern flank. The mountain's southwestern end falls away steeply toward the Gulf of Saros, with the slope in some places reaching up to 50°.
Ganos is a steep mountain — the average slope is 24%, and over half of the mountain's surface area has a slope between 10-40°.
Two streams cut through Mount Ganos, flowing to the west.
Generally, Mount Ganos has a semi-humid climate typical of the Marmara region. Because of its altitude, the mountain experiences cooler temperatures and receives more rainfall than the plains below. Its average annual temperature is less than 10 °C and its average yearly rainfall is more than 1000 mm.
The mountain's soil is predominantly classified as the xeric moisture regime and the thermic temperature regime. These conditions have led to the formation of various soil orders, including alfisols, andisols, entisols, inceptisols, and mollisols.
