I had a wonderful time with my family on the Mount Athos sightseeing cruise. It was a three-hour trip that took us along the southwest side of the Mount Athos peninsula, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important center of Eastern Orthodox monasticism. We saw nime of the twenty ancient monasteries from the boat, each with its own unique architecture and history. The audio guide was very informative and available in different languages. The boat was comfortable and spacious, with a bar for coffee and snacks (for the kids) . The staff was friendly and helpful. The scenery was breathtaking, with the rugged coastline, the turquoise sea and the green hills. We also had the chance to see some dolphins along the way. It was a memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about the culture and nature of this region.
