About this cruise

Three hours out of Porto Carras marina. Swim stops at the Limanakia and Agia Kyriaki, then the sun going down behind Mount Olympus, across the gulf.

You park at the marina, walk down the quay and step on board. Ten minutes later the resort is behind you and there is nothing between the boat and the open gulf.

We anchor at the Limanakia, the small bays just down the coast, while the water still holds the heat of the day, and again at Agia Kyriaki under the pines. If the sea allows, we sometimes head out to Kelyfos islet. Then we turn west. From this side of Sithonia the sun drops behind Mount Olympus, and the whole gulf turns the colour of it.

Three hours, the whole boat for up to 8 people, three more at 50 € each, or 420 € if it is just the two of you. Take a light jacket. The breeze after sunset is honest.
