The trip was nice, the crew amazing! It's a perfect choice to visit both Mount Athos monasteries and the incredible Greek island.

The holy Mt. Athos, the monastries and crystal clear water. Also the crew and staff were very friendly. I wish the swimming break would be longer

Very nice trip, starting from Ouranoupoli. Travelled about one hour south to mount Athos, saw a few monasteries, and after that returned to Alikes beach where we could enjoy the sun for 1.5 hours. Great experience for this price. Back to Ouranoupoli, the whole experience lasted 5 hours.

We unfortunately arrived late, so we found places only downstairs in the back of the ship and the experience felt a little diminished. After Ammouliany stop, we found places upstairs, were the view was great, too bad the return lasted only about half hour.

Nice cruise along Mount Athos. We were lucky to see dolphins:), the beautiful corals, and the monasteries. The island was beautiful with crystal clear water.

The organization is good, but as for the price is too high, it is worth maybe half. Boarding at Ouranoupoli's port was good, Professional Welcoming, what is not worth is just the fact of being too far from the coast (given the inaccessibility of Mount Athos prior permissions), does not allow you to see the Monasteries (4/5 in the Tour) then after 1 h and 1/2 of navigation they head for the island of Ammouliani, too crowded with people with umbrellas and deck chairs, in a handkerchief of beach (little space for a "relaxation of 45 min") , the only positive note the crystal clear sea .. but if you look at the beach .. you would like to escape! perhaps recommend only the visit to Mount Athos (price to be considered high and Monasteries seen from afar) that the mixed cruise Mount Athos + the island of Ammouliani .. see you ..

Gentile ospite,
La ringraziamo per aver condiviso la Sua esperienza con noi. Vorremmo però precisare alcuni punti:
• La crociera combinata che ha scelto comprende la visita ai monasteri del Monte Athos e una sosta sull’isola di Ammouliani della durata di 1 ora e 45 minuti, non 45 minuti come indicato.
• La distanza minima di 500 metri dalla costa è obbligatoria per legge a causa della regola dell’“Avaton”, che vieta alle donne di avvicinarsi di più alla riva.
• Il prezzo di questa escursione è di 30€, mentre esiste anche la possibilità di scegliere la crociera più breve, che visita soltanto i monasteri senza sosta ad Ammouliani, al costo di 25€.
Ci dispiace che la Sua esperienza non sia stata del tutto in linea con le aspettative, ma riteniamo che un punteggio di 1/5 sia piuttosto severo, soprattutto considerando l’organizzazione e la professionalità che Lei stessa ha riconosciuto.
Speriamo di poterLa accogliere di nuovo in futuro e offrirLe un’esperienza ancora più piacevole.
Cordiali saluti,
Xristianna Lempida

The walk is nice, and the boat clean and the staff nice. The value for money is very good.
I don’t give it a 5 because we were in an area where people constantly came to smoke, next to us (we went with minors), and because outside the cabin area, you could not hear the explanation in several languages they offer.

A beautiful boat trip that takes you to the monasteries of Athos, which is very impressive. Afterwards, we head to a beautiful bay to the island of Ammouliani for more than 1.5 hours. The ship itself has a well-equipped bar and enough space so that you can enjoy the view and ride and see enough. With an average of 25€/person in high season a great price/performance! Afterwards, you can stroll through Ouranoupoli and eat at the port.

Beautiful boat trip, beautiful sea, beautiful glass bottom of the boat. Excellent stop on the island for a relaxing swim in crystal clear waters. I expected a little more focus on the monasteries beyond the fact that they are not open to visitors I wish I had some more information

Découverte de la côte en direction du Mont Athos, de plusieurs monastères, arrêt déjeuner (pour notre part ) sur l'île d'Ammouliani . Belle promenade en mer, personnel accueillant et aimable. A recommander a hésitation , bon rapport qualité prix.

Das Schiff hatte einen Motorschaden, wir konnten dadurch die Reise nicht wahrnehmen und mussten das Schiff wieder verlassen.
Jedoch hat die Rückerstattung des Geldes schnell und unkompliziert geklappt! Danke

Depart à l'heure , joli vue de la ville. Mais le temps pour arriver au 1er monastère est vraiment long et on ne s'approche pas assez pour bien voir. Fond de verre inutile: on ne voit rien d'interessant

Leuk als je geïnteresseerd bent in de kloosters. Er wordt informatie over de kloosters verteld in engels-duits-frans. Ga wel binnen zitten als je het goed wilt horen. Je kan ook op de boot zitten chillen in de zon. Tocht duurt ongeveer 2 uur. We hadden bijna 2 uur de tijd in Ammouliani. Dat is ruim voldoende.

Accueil sympathique et bien organisé.
Balade intéressante. Nous avons même eu la chance de voir des dauphins pendant la promenade!

I monasteri del monte Athos, anche se visti dal mare, sono bellissimi.
Nel complesso, è’ stata una bellissima esperienza
Paola_P, Aug 2022
Bella gita, anche se non entusiasmante, poteva essere più coinvolgente e più descrittiva. Un po' monotona. Nel complesso comunque positiva. Vale la vista dei monasteri anche se da lontano. Lo sbarco sulla isola di Ammouliani è frettolosa e molto affollata.
Raffaele_F, Aug 2021
Tutto ben organizzato, ma migliorabile la possibilità di prendere il sole ( solo poco spazio a prua) durante la navigazione e la spiegazione in italiano poco chiara
Michel_A, Aug 2020
Sehr zu empfehlende Tour. Gute Stimmung, angenehme Gruppengröße und sehr freundliche Crew! 5 h lang Sonne, gute Musik und etwas Kultur rund um Athos. Auch der Badestopp war klasse! Nicht zu vergessen der Delfinschwarm, der das Boot begleitete :) Rund um perfekt ;)
