Private Tour
Halkidiki: Private Cruise to Diaporos Island & Vourvourou
Overview
Available languages
5 hours
Mobile ticket
This is a fully private 5-hour cruise — no shared groups, no fixed itinerary. Just your party, your skipper, and the waters of Diaporos entirely to yourselves.
Diaporos is one of the Aegean's best-kept secrets — a cluster of uninhabited islands rising from glass-clear water just off the Sithonia peninsula. Departing from either Vourvourou (Ekies Resort) or Ouranoupoli (Eagles Resort), the route covers Halkidiki's most beautiful and least crowded coves: Hawaii Beach (Myrsini), the Blue Lagoon, Karydi Beach, and the pristine double-sided beaches of Ampelitsi and Peristeri Island. From Ouranoupoli, an optional lunch stop at Ormos Panagias adds a taste of local seafood to the day.
Your skipper adapts the pace and stops to suit your group. The cruise operates aboard our Axopar 28 T-Top — a premium 28ft vessel with a 300HP Mercury engine, built for open water and comfortable for up to 7 guests.

5.00We have stayed at Ekies twice (Sept 23, Sept 24) and booked trips from their beach in several occasions. Segna ( sp?) The manager has been very easy to deal with and flexible as the weather has been erratic and so we have been able to chop & change at short notice. The tour of Diaporous and the opportunities to jump off & on the boat are great fun, well organised and timed with plenty of refreshments and towels. The absolute hi light have been the lunchtime trips to Aristos restaurant approx 25 mins away by fast boat. This was all handled by Segna, so that the restaurant were expecting us and fitted into our timings. George the captain dropped us & off and collected us as planned and we had the chance to jump in the sea off the boat on the way home if we wanted. The boat was really fast, clean and safe and thoroughly enjoyed by 3 generations. We really appreciated that this trip was organised to suit a variety of age groups and that the restaurant selected was perfect & we would never have found it by ourselves. Excellent service, great teamwork and a very enjoyable trip. My children ( 19& 20) absolutely LOVED travelling back full throttle when rain threatened one day.
Best private boat tour - do not hesitate to book!

5.00The boat, the captain (a woman!), the schedule was absolute perfection! The company was very organized and was accommodating - they came to pick us up at our villa that had a beach front available. They took us to the expected sites (Blue Lagoon, Hawaii beach) but also an unexpected site - the Tiki Bar! It was such a fun time. We really really enjoyed the tour and the trip and would absolutely whole heartedly recommend.
Highly recommended

5.00We stayed in Ekies All Senses Hotel for 3 nights, we chose a private cruise to the island (Diaporos) 2 adults and 2 children - fantastic experience ! All of the Explore team were professional and kind, our guide Theodosis knowledgeable and communicative. There were complimentary drinks (water, juice for the kids as well as beer for us ) we enjoyed a great ride at a very very good price compared to the rest of the operators. I highly recommend it
Perfect half day boat trip

5.00We did the private boat tour (3hours) with 2 families (3 children aged 7,5,5). First of all, the company were so accommodating when my daughter broke her arm the day prior to the trip and allowed us to change it last minute to 2 days later. The captain was very friendly and they stopped at 3 swimming / snorkelling spots. The last being so peaceful and beautiful. Boat was spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend!
