Early pick up from central locations in Thessaloniki and transportation by bus to Ormos Panagias, situated in N-E of the Sithonia peninsula in Chalkidiki. From there we will go on with our journey, sailing towards the south of the Athos Peninsula, until we reach the south limit, where the highest point is 2.033 m. and continue sailling north, along the western coast. You will have the opportunity to admire from the cruise ship, the mysterious and miraculous place which has been for centuries the center of Orthodoxy and you will find out new information about the history of Mount Athos and 8 of its monasteries. The 'Holy Mountain', which is forbidden to women and children, is also a recognized artistic site. The layout of the monasteries had an influence as far as Russia, and its school of painting influenced the history of Orthodox art. Mount Athos is an Unesco heritage list.
After the end of approximately 4 hours cruise you will stop in the village of Ouranoupoli. Enjoy your free time in order to discover this beautiful village, have a walk, to shop or to have a delicious traditional meal at one of the best taverns there.
Taking the way back to Ormos Panagias, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful program with traditional dances and Greek music. The cruise will finish in Ormos Panagias, where the bus will be waiting for you to drive back to the hotels. Return to Thessaloniki late in the afternoon.

Apart from all the things the tour was supposed to do, we saw dolphins and that was one of the highlights for me The place we stopped for lunch was beautiful and it was a shame we couldn't spend more time there. Very enjoyable overall though.
We really enjoyed the whole day. Excellent!
“Väl genomförd utflykt”
Vi hade gärna sett att beskedet om när upphämtningen skulle ske, hade kommit tidigare. Nu fick vi ringa och kolla tiden och fick ett Mail senare. Även om upphämtningen vid hotellet inte blev som vi trodde fungerade allt väl. Vi hade gärna hört på lite mer information om trakten som vi färdades igenom under bussfärden. Jättebra med informationen om berget Olympus.
Excursion très intéressante
Amzing place! Sarantis, the our guide was a really experienced man with a lot of passion in his job. If you want to have a trip in a natural enviroment with a lot of incredible scenario, take it!
“À faire absolument”
Excursion longue très bien organisé, RV à l'heure et au lieu prévu, confirmation, réponse au tel si besoin (en anglais) mont Athos site magnifique, . Je félicite le site de m'avoir pris dans ce trip juste 15 h avant.
“Beautiful scenery”
We found lovely weather so the whole trip was beautiful. It is quite a long one spent mostly at sea but the scenery is magnificent. Managed a nice swim in the clear and clean sea when we boarded at Chalkidiki, where one can also taste the typical Greek food. On the way back we were entertained by Greek dancing on board. Lovely experience.
