• Mount Athos The Holy Mountain - This day cruise excursion takes travelers further south to the Mount Athos Peninsula, also known as Agion Oros, which translates to Holy Mountain in Greek. Recognized as a World Heritage Site and a self-governed state within the Hellenic Republic, Athos hosts 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries under the direct jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Constantinople. Due to the “avaton” rule, access is restricted to adult men and young males accompanied by their fathers, so please be aware that the cruise cannot approach closer than 500 meters. Possible stops include viewing the Holy Monasteries of Dochiariou, Xenofontos, Panteleimonos (Russian), and Xiropotamou.

• Byzantine Tower of Ouranoupolis - The Prosforion Tower is the iconic landmark of Ouranoupolis, situated next to its harbor. It is the largest and best-preserved tower in Halkidiki, constructed in the 14th century. The tower is also referred to as the “Tower of Loch,” with both names reflecting its historical significance.

• Drenia Island - After the cultural tour around Mount Athos concludes, the summer fun begins here! Relax on the deck, enjoy refreshing drinks and delicious snacks, and have the chance to make new friends, as seagulls and dolphins often accompany the journey to Drenia, also known as the Donkey Islands. These small islets provide the perfect setting for swimming, snorkeling, and experiencing the joy of the sea! Unwind and rejuvenate on the white sandy beach and in the crystal-clear turquoise waters before sailing back to the starting point.
