Description

We will leave the hotel early in the morning so as to start our trip to Ormos Panagias in Chalkidiki. From this harbour we will sail towards the south of Athos Peninsula. From the boat you will have the possibility to see and take pictures of the 1000 years old monasteries in Europe. Today, about 2000 monks still live up this holy mountain and follow the exact Byzantine rules and rituals, with no woman ever being allowed to set foot there. Early in the afternoon, we will arrive in the remarkable village of Ouranoupolis, where you will have enough free time to discover this village, to take a walk, to go shopping or to have a traditional meal. On our way back from Ouranoupolis, the boat will sail to the west, to Ormos Panagias and for one hour and a half you will have the opportunity to watch a wonderful program with traditional dances and listen to traditional Greek music. We will finish our trip in Ormos Panagias, where there will be a bus waiting to drive you back to the hotels. This is definitely a day you will never forget!
