Cruise with ship "Athos" highly recommended - We booked a cruise with Petra Friedrich to 4 monasteries on the west side of the Athos with a bathing and lunch stop at Banana Beach on the island of Ammouliani. The ship was called Athos. A very nice modern and small ship, which was also allowed to sail closer to the monasteries. Mrs. Friedrich is very friendly and helpful and responds lightning fast to questions. Highly recommended.

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!

Boat trip in the crystal clear sea of Greece - Beautiful boat trip, beautiful sea, beautiful glass bottom of the boat. Excellent stop on the island for a relaxing swim in crystal clear waters. I expected a little more focus on the monasteries beyond the fact that they are not open to visitors I wish I had some more information

Mount Athos is far away - You will not reach the mount Athos and you will see only 3 monastery while your 1,5 hour trip alongside the coast, then 1,5 hour back and 1,5 hour standing at the island Views are nice anyway:)))

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
