“One of the best trips I’ve done in Greece. The thermal baths were wonderful, I could’ve stayed another hour or two. Next we stopped for lunch in a small village and the Taverna that our guide recommended for us was excellent. The food was delicious and local and the service was perfect. Finally, we stopped in.Edessa to see the waterfall for an hour which was plenty of time. All in all an excellent day! Thank you to Eva for being a fabulous guide!”

Explore Sithonia’s finest beaches and villages from Thessaloniki on a small-group minivan tour with swimming, scenery, lunch, and local guidance.

“I booked a private Sithonia tour and expected a nice, scenic trip with beach stops. What I got was so much more! Our driver Stefanos gave us a great commentary along the way, including history, culture, every day life, customs and answered all the questions. He was extremely flexible, extended our stay at certain beaches when we asked him to and adjusted the schedule when necessary to avoid the big crowds.

10.Ouranoupoli: Mount Athos Peninsula Sightseeing Cruise

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

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 298 reviews · from $28

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!”
