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.

I was picked up at 7:50 AM and boarded the boat at 8:54 AM. After waiting over an hour, we were told the trip was cancelled due to an anchor fault. I returned to my hotel at 11:06 AM, wasting 3 hours. While I appreciate the refund, this could’ve been avoided with proper safety checks first thing in the morning- standard for any maritime operator and the excursion cancelled prior to guests being collected and embarking the boat. The lack of communication in the handling of this situation is poor.

The trip was very good and enjoyable, Lunch tasty , Blue Lagunas stop amazing, however our cruise had been cancelled because of weather conditions, and I had disappointed, but TUI apps and rep from TUI supported me very well and we had been relocated to the next date. Thanks for that.

We booked this excursion to see Mt Athos and there was only about 20 mins viewing 4 of the monasteries. The swim stop was too long at over 1.5 hours. It would have been better to have as shorter swim stop and see all 8 monasteries, especially as it took 2 hours to sail to Athos.

The trip itself was very good and enjoyable however no tui rep to help support which boat you are on in which there were 4 all doing similar trips thank god for the lady on the boat who spoke English to help us also on way back we were told coach 110 there were 5 none 110 with no support to help guide you back to the hotel. Saw no rep at all no welcome meeting to attend even in a different hotel first time ever I've not seen one!!

From coach pick up to coach drop off, the day we had was awesome. The coach driver was very friendly, the staff on the boat were exceptional, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful but the best part of the day was the swim stop at Blue Lagoon, in a word, STUNNING!!! The only negatives were the food, although nice, it would have been nice to have a variety as our son ate very little, also, you have to print your trip voucher off, what if you haven't got a printer?? Needs attention...
