HOLY MOUNTAIN OF ATHOS - CHALKIDIKI
Option 1
Our two-day sailing trip starts and finishes at Potos or Limenaria. We set course towards the southern part of the Mount Athos peninsula, to the holy monastery of Agia Laura (Mount Athos’ oldest monastery dating back from 961 AD).
We sail north along the coast, which offers breathtaking views. The holy monasteries of Stavronikita, Pantokratoros and Vatopediou are among the ones we will see. All these monasteries have been built facing the North Agean, giving them an impressive and mystical appearance.
We spend the evening in Ierissos where there are many taverns, cafeterias and restaurants lining the sea front, offering excellent local cuisine and experience.
In the morning following breakfast we will go towards Ierissos bay where you will be able to sit back, relax, swim and enjoy the pristine environment.
Afterwards we will commence our return journey to Thassos.
