Perched on Halkidiki's eastern peninsula, Mount Athos is a Greek treasure that's strictly off limits to visitors. But you'll get a good look at the place with this full day boat trip. Cruise by the cliff-hugging monasteries of the world's only monastic republic before anchoring up for lunch onboard. Stopping at a nearby beach, there'll be time for swimming and sunbathing, too.

Super mooi en indrukwekkend. Duidelijke uitleg over de kloosters en we kwamen redelijk dichtbij. Ik dacht alleen dat get zwemmen bij de blue lagune was maar dat was op Robbinson beach. Ook heel mooi blauw en gelder water

The only thing that was not so good was the good. There can be a serious improvement

Obiad na statku nie wyglądał apetycznie

Enjoyed the boat trip and the information on the monasteries and the time for the swimming. Only thing I would improve is the photographs. Lady does not tell you what they are for or price before hand. Seems forceful. Also, 10euro per picture is too expensive. They print them off anyway for them to just go into the bin. If they were cheaper I would have bought them instead of them going to waste. Shame. Overall though I enjoyed the trip very much.

I enjoyed the Athos as an ortodox and a women you not allowed on mountain so was nice to see it from the sea. Same with the beach stop the water nice. The negative we seen to little compare with other trips at least one more stop some where else another beach or a small village for shoping or an authentic place to visit. This trip was oversold buy our Tui rep telling little lies about how amazing is the lunch and this and other. It was bad sure i am not going for the food but at least dont lie.

Das Hotel hat eine ruhige Lage, das gesamte Personal war sehr freundlich und immer Hilfsbereit. Die gesamte Anlage inklusive Zimmer war sehr sauber.
