7 Boat Trips in Halkidiki Worth Flying For

1.Mount Athos Glassbottom Cruise with Ammouliani Island visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 592 reviews · 5 hours · from $35Our pick

Cruise past six Mount Athos monasteries, view Ouranoupoli’s reef, and enjoy a 1.5-hour swim and lunch stop on Ammouliani Island.

“The activity was excellent in general but I would like to suggest a small detail to improve the experience: in the way from Mont Athos to the island the music changed completely (from Greek music it changed to a music not appropiate from my point of view to this kind of cruise) and the volume was too loud. So, I prefer silence or Greek music in a soft volume than the kind of music we had to listen (although we didn't like this type of music). Maybe it would be better if everybody could choose their preferences. Thank you for asking our opinion.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 352 reviews · 3h 30m · from $29

Cruise from Ouranoupolis along Mount Athos to view eight monasteries, hear its history, and watch for dolphins from the sea.

“Kann man gern machen, man kommt halt nur auf 500 Meter an die Küste Ran, also unbedingt ein Fernglas mitnehmen. Info kommt 3sprachig aus dem Lautsprecher. aber für 25 Euro 3,5 h mit dem Boot is fair. Oben ist beschattet, alles gut. An Land geht man nie,1 Kuttenträger kommt im Kloster Dorf an Board und verkauft Selbst erstelltes.”

4.Ouranoupoli: Mount Athos Peninsula Sightseeing Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 305 reviews · from $28Best value

Cruise past eight Mount Athos monasteries from Ouranoupoli, with multilingual commentary, Aegean views, snacks, and possible dolphins.

“Check in went smoothly, the boat was in perfect condition and the Audio Guide available in several languages over the loudspeaker of the vessel - but loud enough and clearly understandable. Plan enough time for parking, if you arrive by car. The public parking was already full and closed, when we arrived so you might need to park elsewhere and then plan enough time to walk to the meeting point.”
