Sail All Day on a Luxury Catamaran

Departing from either Porto Carras Grand Resort Marina or Paliouri Chrousso Pier, we set sail along the Sithonia coastline toward Kelyfos Island, one of the most beautiful uninhabited islands in Halkidiki, surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise water ideal for snorkeling and swimming.

From there, we continue to the Spalathronisia Islands, a small archipelago of rocky islets with some of the finest swimming water in northern Greece. Lunch is served at anchor here, either prepared on board or at a local taverna ashore.

The afternoon brings us to the secret coves of Porto Carras: private anchorages tucked below the estate’s pine-covered hillside, accessible only from the sea. These are the places our skipper knows that don’t appear on any map. Along the way, when the wind is right, we sail, and there is nothing quite like the catamaran under sail with the Sithonia coastline alongside.

We return to the departure point after seven hours that most guests describe as the best day of their trip to Halkidiki. For more on the best time to plan your cruise, read when is the best time to sail in Halkidiki.
