Great boat trip! - Really a fantastic boat trip! A complete tour in all languages on the clear blue sea. Seen very mount athos and then to an island to take a dip. The only thing is that the glass bottom is only four small strips, so don't expect too much of that. But the trip itself is beautiful!

A pleasant cruise that gives an overview of the monasteries but is not an in-depth approach. - The cruise lasts 4 hours but only runs along Mount Athos for a limited length, at a distance from the shore, corresponding to the first 5 monasteries on the west coast from Ouranopoli. The comments are set out successively in the different languages but remain very general. The time spent on the island of Ammouliani allows you to take a nice walk or go to the restaurant.

Fatigue of the postseason is noticeable - Unfortunately, we only saw 5 of the promised 9 monasteries, the mountain was still far away when we turned around again. But the stay in Amouliani was longer.

Minicrucian - Experience to do, but splitting the cruise from the visit to the island of Ammuliani that is worth a visit apart from 1 day in an hour and a half you do nothing, Recommendation to arrive an hour before departure because there are no parking difficulties

Boat tour to Athos and Amouliani - A boat tour along the coast to admire some monasteries of Athos which can be seen from the water. Very impressive. Afterwards to Amouliani for 1.5 hours. There you can look at the place or some food and drink, cozy taverns there . But if you want to go to the beach, you go to the right (viewed from the water) a little further. There comes a small beach. You can swim there in the clear sea and snorkeling is also possible.

Bad cruise. Not the Recommendation - Boat not adequate to admire the monasteries being very closed and not allowing you to see them comfortably from all sides. In addition, many passengers smoked every three by two making the cruise itself unpleasant for the smell of smoke (in Italy it is forbidden to smoke on the boat for safety reasons, in Greece not?). Finally I find it ridiculous to try to reach the beach to swim when there is bad weather, with a clearly visible storm approaching and at the last fall back to the port of the island... where anyway we took the water... maybe it would have been better to return earlier.
