Kafsokalyvia (Greek: Καυσοκαλύβια, lit.'burning hut') is a settlement and idiorrhythmic skete in Mount Athos. It is located at the southern edge of the Athos peninsula. Kafsokalyvia is named after Maximos Kausokalybites ("Maximos the Hut Burner"), a 14th-century Christian hermit.[1]

It is also known as the Holy Trinity Skete (Greek: Σκήτη Αγίας Τριάδος, romanizedSkiti Agias Triados).[1]

There are 40 cells in Kafsokalyvia, not all of which are occupied. There are 35 monks living at Kafsokalyvia (Speake 2014).[1]

A regular ferry service connects the port of Kafsokalyvia[2] with Dafni, the main port of Mount Athos.[3]
