TranslateMachine Translated
Travel with us to one of the most beautiful places in the north of Greece and discover magical beaches, bays and mountains far away from mass tourism! Our cruise will take us to the Toronean and Singite gulfs, which are enclosed by the three distinctive "fingers" (Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos) of the Halkidiki peninsula. There are several inhabited and uninhabited islands with a breathtaking beauty that is second to none. Always in sight of the central land of Chalkidiki we will explore Sithonia and Athos with their unique natural scenery. June is the beginning of summer in Chalkidiki and therefore a time with very little rain. The temperatures climb at noon already over 30°C and the water temperature is at a pleasant 22°C with cloudless sky. Due to the Meltemi there is a pleasant wind during the whole summer months, which keeps the temperatures bearable and provides a wonderful sailing experience. The trip will take place on board of a well maintained sailing yacht, which will be our means of transportation and at the same time our accommodation for the next days. Whether in a safe harbor with subsequent shore leave or in a beautiful bay where you can greet the sunrise with a jump into the water, the freedom we can enjoy here is limitless. A trip for adventurous and cultural travelers who want to create unique moments far from normal destinations.

Nicole

5/5
Although I booked the sailing trip with Martin very spontaneously, everything worked out great. In advance we had a short phone call to discuss the course of the trip and clarify expectations. Martin answered all my questions and we were able to clarify organizational matters. On the boat Martin was very patient in explaining and you could try sailing depending on your interest. Martin had planned a route

Trip Itinerary
1

Nikiti

Day 1-2
The best way to reach our home port is via the airport in Thessaloniki. A cab ride, or alternatively a rental car, takes us across the central massif of the peninsula to Nikiti. This region is characterized by agriculture and already offers a lot of variety for the eye through towns, villages, fields and mountains with Central European-looking forests. Arrived in the home port we start with a cozy get together, then move into the boat and provide enough provisions for the next days. We also discuss the final cruise planning, as far as possible, on the first day.
2

Kelifos

Day 2
We reach our first stop in good conditions within 2 hours. The uninhabited island of Kelifos invites us to a comfortable snack and swim stop in the crystal clear water around noon.
3

Porto Koufo

Day 2-3
Our first stop is Porot Koufo, the "deaf harbor". This picturesque natural harbor does not bear this name for nothing. Due to its special location, the sounds of the sea are not perceptible even in heavy seas. At this beautiful natural harbor we spend the night at anchor, protected by steep cliffs around us, which are worth the climb. We also reach this destination after only a few hours. There is enough time for extensive exploration and to feel the magic of this place.

Blue Lagoon Halkidiki

Day 3-4
After a quiet night at anchor in Porto Koufo we leave the Toronean Gulf. The destination is the island of Diaporos which promises beautiful moorings. Always in view is the highest mountain of Halkidiki of the island of the same name - Mount Athos. Athos is an autonomous monk republic and belongs to the UNESCO world cultural heritage. One of the most beautiful, although during the day by the numerous excursion boats somewhat hectic anchorage is the "Blue Lagoon". This place impresses with its really glass-clear water.
5

Ammouliani

Day 4
Starting from Blue Lagoon, we quickly reach the island of Amouliani. This place is the easternmost point of our trip. Here we can enjoy the lunch time with a short jump into the cool water and look forward to another day of sailing.
6

Sykias Beach

Day 4-5
With a breathtaking view of the holy mountain Athos, the bay of Sykias opens with a wide sandy beach. In this bay we spend (depending on the weather) our last night on the east side of Sithonia
7

Ilias bay

Day 5-6
On the second day of our return trip to our home port Nikiti, we visit the most southeastern part of Kassandra. In the Marina Mirragio there we can marvel at the beauty of this peninsula in the Greek north during an extended shore leave.
8

Nikiti

Day 6-7
On the last day of our cruise, we set off leisurely to our home port in Nikti. We review the eventful time with a last cool beer or wine in the harbor and chat one last time with other charter crews in the harbor.
