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.

Very well organised. Nothing we didn’t like

They didn’t explained about monasteries in plain English Swimming from boat to beach no life guard beach no place to sunbathe the lunch was poor rice a few cucumber and tomato meat I don’t know what it was no water supplied

Very organised, on time for everything. Stuff very friendly. Food was delicious. Didn’t get a drink with the lunch, got told off our TUI rep that we do. Value for money, would do the excursion again ?? Thank you for a valued memory

travel time to mt athos too long monasteries not visible mediocre lunch onboard

Blue lagoon swim was good Would have liked to have seen more monasteries Lunch was poor
