Vourvourou Bay - Vourvourou in it’s own right can be given the title as Halkidiki’s premier water playground. The nine islands off the coast, including the impressive Diaporos, form a large sheltered natural pool of tranquil azure waters ideal for water sports.

Mount Athos The Holy Mountain - Our day cruise excursion takes you further south, to Mount Athos Peninsula known as Agion Oros, which means Holy Mountain in Greek. A World Heritage Site and self-governed state in the Hellenic Republic, Athos is home to 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries under the direct jurisdiction of the patriarch of Constantinople.
However, a rule called “avaton” permits access only to adult men and young males accompanied by their fathers, so please note that we are not allowed to approach it within less than 500 m.

Byzantine Tower of Ouranoupolis - The tower of Prosforion is the landmark of Ouranoupolis located next to its harbor. It’s the largest and best-preserved tower in Halkidiki built in the 14th century. The tower is also known as the “Tower of Loch”, both names are related to the tower’s history.
