★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 277 reviews · 10 hours · from $77

Review of the Halkidiki Blue Lagoon Cruise from Thessaloniki, covering beaches, boat comfort, lunch, pickup, value, and practical tips.

The beaches were amazing and beautiful. We really appreciated that umbrellas were provided on the beach and there was a small boat to transport personal belongings to and from the ship. Lunch tasted good and was a normal size portion. Only suggestion would be to serve a drink with lunch. Thank you for a great day!”
