Touring the periphery of Mount Athos offers a unique experience, allowing visitors to admire the imposing architecture of the monasteries and the unparalleled natural beauty of the area. From Ouranoupoli, the main gateway, daily cruises depart along the western coast of the peninsula, providing panoramic views of the historic monasteries perched on steep cliffs. During the journey, visitors have the opportunity to closely observe monasteries such as Dochiariou, Xenophontos, Panteleimon, among others, while enjoying the serene landscape of the Aegean Sea. These cruises are an ideal choice for those wishing to acquaint themselves with the spiritual and cultural heritage of Mount Athos without entering it.
