Halkidiki: Private Cruise To The Mount Athos Monasteries
This is a fully private cruise along one of the most protected and inaccessible coastlines in Europe. The price covers your entire group (up to 7 guests), not per person. The monastic community of Mount Athos is closed to most visitors — entry by land requires special permits — but the coastline can be experienced by sea, and this cruise puts you right alongside it. Departing from Ouranoupoli (Eagles Resort) for a 5-hour itinerary, or Vourvourou (Ekies Resort) for the full 7-hour experience, your skipper guides you past centuries-old monasteries perched on dramatic cliffs — Simonos Petras, Dionisiou, Agiou Pavlou, and more — before heading to the Drenia Islands for swimming and snorkelling, and finishing with a visit to Ammouliani Town and the historic Byzantine village of Ouranoupoli. No shared groups, no fixed pace — the route adapts to your group. The cruise operates aboard our Axopar 28 T-Top — a premium 28ft vessel with a 300HP Mercury engine, comfortable for up to 7 guests.
