Athos Sea Cruises - Mount Athos cruise Ship departs once up to twice a day from Ouranoupolis port, right next to the "gates" of Holy Mount Athos. The ship heads to the southwestern part of Mount Athos peninsula. In 15 minutes reach the first Russian cloister and after sailing by unique Beaches, it arrives in the area of the first monastery, Iera Moni Dochiariou and follows other 7 monasteries, as well as the Holy Mount's central port, Daphni, and finally the cloisters, small villages, where groups of monks live in every house.

Between the large groups of older ladies screaming at each other, the very potent boat engine, and the disco-level loudness of the "soundtrack" that narrates a terrible script in four or five languages, the trip was utter torture. There must be a better way to do this.

Nice big beach, flat and kid-friendly.
Shallow water, very clear and safe.
3 beach bars to choose from, all playing their music- sometimes this gets a bit much with overlapping tunes.
Lots of space on the beach if you bring your own gear or play ball.
Parking only steps away.
There is more private Beaches on the island, but this is probably the biggest beach here.

We loved spending our days down at the Water Sports centre with Dinos and Xenia, they were completely flexible with whatever we wanted to do, very reasonably priced and excellent teachers. We stayed at Eagle's palace but loved Dinos relaxed and accomodating attitude so did all...MoreThank you very much dear Lisa for choosing us for your water sports activities. We are happy to know that we did your holidays a bit better. We hope you come again all 3 of you soon!

We went as part of a group, I enjoyed the sail on the water and it is moderately interesting to view the monasteries. It seemed to me considering we drove from and to Thessaloniki for 2 and a half hours on the water a not outstanding day. But as women are not allowed this is the closed a mixed group can get.

One of the semi-populated little Islands near Ammouliani is one of your options for visiting with a boat. So we did. We came in the morning to see something different and wild. But we were wrong. After our boarding on the beach, there came the big boat, bringing dozens of tourists on the island, filling the crowdy beach. We didn't like also the sand on it, because we found it dirty. So we left the island immediately and went snorkeling near the neighbor smaller Islands.
