4Lovely trip!
Lovely trip to see Mount Athos. Commentary in various languages. Unfortunately couldn't be heard clearly over the noise of the boat. Polite staff and comfortable boat.
5For recommendations
Nice cruises , good atmosphere , very familiar stuff. Peninsula Athos is one of most beautiful places in Greece. Nature is unique.
5Very nice trip to Athos mountain
Our family had an amazing experience during the trip with Eirinikos Glassbottom Cruise to Athos mountain. Stunning views, very helpful guide, and beautiful and comfort boat. Thank you for everything!
5Amazing
We went on 22nd of June 2024, and it was amazing! It was easy from the beginning- booking from their website extremely easy. Then the boat was very nice, new and comfortable, also not crowded at all. Plenty of shadow on the decks. The bar was fully loaded with everything you could possibly want on a cruise like that. They had a nice guide on various languages. On the way back the crew started playing mandolins and the atmosphere was amazing. Will go on their cruises again for sure! Good work!
5Nice tour
Very helpful staff, easy drive, not too crowded. I prefer its smaller scale. Information about monstrosities comes in many languages. Fun for kids. We enjoyed it a lot.
5A unique experience
I had a wonderful time with my family on the Mount Athos sightseeing cruise. It was a three-hour trip that took us along the southwest side of the Mount Athos peninsula, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important center of Eastern Orthodox monasticism. We saw nime of the twenty ancient monasteries from the boat, each with its own unique architecture and history. The audio guide was very informative and available in different languages. The boat was comfortable and spacious, with a bar for coffee and snacks (for the kids) . The staff was friendly and helpful. The scenery was breathtaking, with the rugged coastline, the turquoise sea and the green hills. We also had the chance to see some dolphins along the way. It was a memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about the culture and nature of this region.

About Halkidiki
Halkidiki is a three-pronged peninsula in northern Greece, with pine-backed beaches, ancient sites and the monastic community of Mount Athos.
Halkidiki reaches into the Aegean south-east of Thessaloniki like a hand with three fingers: Kassandra, Sithonia and, furthest east, the narrow peninsula of Mount Athos. Kassandra has lively beach resorts, Sithonia is wilder, with pine forests running down to coves of clear water and small fishing villages, and Mount Athos is a self-governing monastic community whose twenty monasteries can be seen from boats offshore.
