Athos Cruise

Our trip starts from Ormos Panagias, Sithonia at 09:00 with destination the southern tip of Athos. When we reach the tip we start the tour of the eight monasteries of the west cost. The ship travels 500 meters from the shore. At 13:30 we make a two hour stop an Ouranoupoli. At 15:30 we start the journey back to Ormos Panagias with the company of live music and dance! Mount Athos is situated in the entire third, eastern and most beautiful peninsula of Halkidiki, called the peninsula of Athos. It is the only place in Greece that is completely dedicated to prayer and worship of God. For this reason, it is called the Holy Mount. The Holy Mount is about 50 Km in length, 8 to 12 Km in width and it covers an area of about 350 square kilometres. The natural beauty of the peninsula is extraordinary.

The highest point of Mount Athos is like a huge cone, reaching 2033 metres in height. It’s a naked, treeless crest that seems to lance the sky and its slopes are fully covered by ancient evergreens. All these help to create an area of incomparable natural beauty.
