The number 1 boat tour in Sithonia!

5.00The perfect day, breath taking views and the best Captain in Sithonia!!! Luxury experience at an incredible price. This boat tour with Aris has been the highlight of our trip to Sithonia. We are a group of 6 friends and have visited Nikiti for 3 years taking many boat tours each time- Varkaris is by far the best tour to book in Sithonia and is a gold standard experience. The sailing boat is immaculate and more spacious than the photos show- complete opulence! Aris explains everything you need to know to stay safe on the boat and in the water. He provides all the food and drinks a group would need but he also allowed us to bring our own supplies on to the boat for our specific tastes. There is so much flexibility with Aris, we discussed all the tour options as a group and what we liked to do best before he designed the perfect day for us- we like quiet swimming / snorkelling and wanted to see parts of Sithonia that we have not seen before on previous boat tours as the options are always the same with those tours. From start to finish, it was the most wonderful experience- we had expert coaching on where to jump and dive from the boat, we saw so many beautiful fish, empty coves and secret beaches. By the end of your day with Aris, he feels like a new friend and we cannot thank him enough for looking after us so well and creating the most memorable day of our trip.
A holiday highlight !

5.00This is an amazing day and I can't recommend it highly enough. There were six of us on the boat besides the captain Aris and there is more than enough room. The boat is clean and Aris' service is amazing, he's extremely professional and provided amazing drinks and food throughout the day. Aris was happy to provide options for how to spend the day which really helped personalised it to what we all wanted to do. Honestly at this price this is an absolute bargain, it is leaps ahead of other boat trips I have seen available. I have been on shared boat trips which while still a great day out just don't compare to this experience. Finally, Aris is amazing. He was so friendly and so knowledgeable. We had a brilliant day with him, great conversations and would definitely book this again if we return to Sithonia.

Aris made it amazing for all of us - starting with the blue lagoon for swimming then a couple more deserted beaches for an amazing time as a family with a few drinks - then the wonderful Rodia for lunch and finally an amazing trip back with perfect music, meze platter, fresh fruit platter, wine, beer and soft drinks. Cannot recommend highly enough thank you- a real highlight of our holiday as did you put recommend a real highlight of our holiday! 5 stars!

5.00We had a fantastic day on the boat. From the BBQ to the lovely fruit and the blue lagoon to the Tiki bar in the sea, we were looked after very well by Aris. The boat is immaculate, with a cool box on board with drinks supplied or bring your own! We enjoyed diving off the boat, paddle boarding and relaxing. Highly recommended.

5.00What a fantastic experience from the ease of booking to setting from the harbour and enjoying the wonderful sights of the Halkadiki coast. Aris our skipper was both charming and informative for the entire journey
The highlight of our vacation

5.00The sailing trip was definitely the highlight of our vacation. Aris was fantastic – he tailored the trip to our needs and took us to some beautiful, quiet bays that we wouldn’t have found on our own. The boat was comfortable, and Aris made sure we had a relaxed and enjoyable day on the water. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area!
Our best day in Halkidiki !

5.00We chose Varkaris because it’s not just an intermediary finding you a last-minute skipper — it’s Aris himself. He knows the area inside out and adjusts the stops and timing to suit the moment. There’s never any rush: you can linger as long as you like at each stop. While you’re exploring, Aris sets out snacks and drinks, so when you return to the boat, a delicious surprise awaits. Everything was perfect — professional yet wonderfully friendly. We recommend this experience 100% and honestly doubt you’ll find better. If you’re spending a week or two in Halkidiki, don’t miss it!
Sailing trip of a lifetime!

5.00Aris our captain was absolutely amazing. He took us all around sithonia and showed us incredible hidden coves and beautiful beaches. He was an amazing host and this was a once in a lifetime experience. The snacks were amazing and the entire day was perfect. Our six year old had a blast and swam the entire day. We created a lifetime full of memories and cannot thank Aris enough for this experience!
