5.00Great day, they provided exactly as advertised without any fuss or hassle. Safety felt at all times.
The price is not worth the experience

1.00The organization is good, but as for the price is too high, it is worth maybe half. Boarding at Ouranoupoli's port was good, Professional Welcoming, what is not worth is just the fact of being too far from the coast (given the inaccessibility of Mount Athos prior permissions), does not allow you to see the Monasteries (4/5 in the Tour) then after 1 h and 1/2 of navigation they head for the island of Ammouliani, too crowded with people with umbrellas and deck chairs, in a handkerchief of beach (little space for a "relaxation of 45 min") , the only positive note the crystal clear sea .. but if you look at the beach .. you would like to escape! perhaps recommend only the visit to Mount Athos (price to be considered high and Monasteries seen from afar) that the mixed cruise Mount Athos + the island of Ammouliani .. see you ..
The walk is nice, and the...

4.00The walk is nice, and the boat clean and the staff nice. The value for money is very good. I don’t give it a 5 because we were in an area where people constantly came to smoke, next to us (we went with minors), and because outside the cabin area, you could not hear the explanation in several languages they offer.
Great value for money

5.00A beautiful boat trip that takes you to the monasteries of Athos, which is very impressive. Afterwards, we head to a beautiful bay to the island of Ammouliani for more than 1.5 hours. The ship itself has a well-equipped bar and enough space so that you can enjoy the view and ride and see enough. With an average of 25€/person in high season a great price/performance! Afterwards, you can stroll through Ouranoupoli and eat at the port.
It could be better

2.00Too hot inside the boat and in the back of it. People were smoking on it and all the smoke stayed with us. It felt like an old time bar. Not recommended if you come with the kids.

Boat trip in the crystal clear sea of Greece

4.00Beautiful 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

4.00You 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:)))
Cruise with ship "Athos" highly recommended

5.00We 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.
