Boat Trip along the coast of Mount Athos and Ammouliani Island

About the Activity

What to Expect

Experience a day like no other on this boat trip along the coast of Mount Athos and Ammouliani Island, and combine sightseeing of Byzantine monasteries with a relaxing day offshore. Depart from the picturesque Port of Ouranopolis and prepare to cruise along the west coast of the holy peninsula as you witness centuries-old Byzantine monasteries standing on unspoiled natural settings. Landmarks such as the Monastery of Dochiarioy, Xenophontos, Saint Panteleimon, Simonos Petras, Osioy Gregoriou, Dionysiou, and Saint Paul unfold before you, offering a glimpse into the region's rich history and cultural heritage. Binoculars are available onboard for a closer look at these architectural marvels.

Keep a lookout for playful dolphins, gracefully gliding and leaping out of the waters, as we head towards the island of Ammouliani, where Alykes beach awaits with its soft sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Step ashore and immerse yourself in the tranquility of this idyllic bay. Of course, you may rent a sunbed and parasol if you feel like chilling for a blissful 1.5 hours.

By late afternoon, we will bid farewell to the island and set sail back to the Port of Ouranoupolis, leaving you with memories of a day filled with natural beauty, cultural wonders, and moments of pure relaxation. Join us for an unforgettable trip along the coast of Mount Athos and Ammouliani!
