What to expect

Take the opportunity to admire Mount Athos from the water. This cruise gives you the chance to see the magnificent place famous for its ancient monasteries dating back to 963.

Also known as the Holy Mountain, this 2033 meters high mountain has had the status of an autonomous state for over one thousand years.

Athos is the most difficult section of Halkidiki to visit. All females, including female animals, are forbidden to pass beyond Ouranopolis village into the monks' territory. Men who wish to visit must apply for a permit up to 6 months in advance, allowing them to visit no longer than 4 days.

To this day 1.700 monks still live under strict rules on the Holy Mountain, with no woman ever being allowed to set foot there.
