Soon Daniel left for Mount Athos, where he was elected igumen of Hilandar. During his tenure as igumen, Mount Athos was attacked several times by Ctaluanian pirates.

In 1314 he was present during the last moments of St. Queen Jelena, mother of King Milutin. He described her last moments in his Lives of Kings and Archbishops of Serbia. Daniel retired again and returned to his beloved Mount Athos.

When Abp. St. Sava III died on July 26, the king proposed Daniel as the new archbishop. Daniel instead proposed his disciple, St. Nikodim, for the position. St. Nikodim was elected, but the king also insisted that Daniel should remain in Serbia. To accommodate the king, he accepted the position of Bishop of Zahumlje. Daniel was at King Milutin's death bed and buried him in Banjska Monastery.
