Halkidiki: Private Cruise to the Mount Athos Monasteries

5.0
(3 reviews)
Halkidiki, Greece

7 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This is a fully private 7-hour cruise along one of the most protected coastlines in Europe. The price covers your entire group (up to 9 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), 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 in Ammouliani Town. No shared groups, no fixed pace — the route adapts to your group.

Operates aboard our Cranchi E26 Rider — 26ft, 350HP Honda V8, up to 9 guests.
