The boat tour along the coast of Mount Athos was an unforgettable experience. The impressive natural scenery, the crystal-clear waters, and the majestic monasteries nestled against the steep mountain slopes made the trip truly special. The atmosphere on board was pleasant and relaxed, and the staff was friendly and well-organized. The information about the history and monastic life on Mount Athos was also very interesting and enriched the tour. A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to enjoy culture, nature, and a relaxing time on the water!
