Review of the Mount Athos Glassbottom Cruise from Ouranoupoli, with monastery views, Drenia islets, Ammouliani Island, and practical tips.
“It was nice but not always easy to understand what the recorded guide was saying in 4-5 languages. And the seats weren’t very confortable to sit for 4hours. The stop at Ammouliani was a nice touch. It’s small but so beautiful.”
Cruise from Ouranoupoli along Mount Athos, seeing eight monasteries, hearing live commentary, and enjoying Aegean views for three hours.
“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.”
Cruise from Ouranoupolis past eight Mount Athos monasteries, with multilingual commentary, sea views, and chances to spot dolphins.
“It was a very beautiful cruise, the audio guide was transmitted in different languages and that was great. During the cruise, near Saint Paul monastery a monk came on board with some reliques and everyone had the time to adore and pray. The only negative aspect was that there were a little bit too much passengers and there weren't enough seats to stay outside. Overall was a wonderful experience!”
Review of the Halkidiki Blue Lagoon Cruise from Thessaloniki, covering beaches, boat comfort, lunch, pickup, value, and practical tips.
“We really enjoyed this trip. The pirate ship was great and the staff were wonderful. It was nice to see that a lot of things were done to engage young children. 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!”

Sail from Thessaloniki to Epanomi’s shipwreck beach for clear-water swimming, Greek lunch, wine, and a relaxed six-hour cruise.
