Half Day Sailing Cruise Halkidiki
Half a day on the water. Fully worth it.
Half Day Sailing Cruise
The half day sailing cruise Halkidiki is five hours of coastline, swimming, and authentic sailing. It is the perfect choice when a full day isn’t possible, or when you want to combine time on the water with everything else Halkidiki has to offer. Available as a morning departure or an afternoon departure, it fits any schedule and suits any group.
Our sailing yachts accommodate up to 11 guests: intimate enough for a genuinely personal experience, with a professional skipper who handles everything on board. No sailing experience required.

The route

We depart from your chosen base and set sail along the coastline toward secluded coves and swimming spots that are only reachable by sea. The half day sailing cruise Halkidiki covers the finest stretches of water near each departure point: Kelyfos Island and the Spalathronisia archipelago from Kassandra, the Toronaios Gulf coves from Porto Carras, and the extraordinary Diaporos area from Ormos Panagias.
When the wind is right, we sail. On a half day sailing cruise, the combination of sailing and swimming in crystal-clear water is enough to change most people’s idea of what a day in Halkidiki can be. Five hours gives you time to feel the wind, swim in a secluded cove, and understand why people who sail once tend to come back.

We operate the half day sailing cruise Halkidiki from three locations across Kassandra and Sithonia. Choose the base closest to where you’re staying.
Departure points
At the southern tip of Kassandra, Paliouri Chrousso Pier puts you in open water immediately. Ideal for guests staying anywhere along the Kassandra coast, from Nea Moudania to Paliouri. The morning departure here catches the best light; the afternoon departure catches the sea breeze.
On the western coast of Sithonia, Porto Carras Marina is perfectly positioned for the Toronaios Gulf coves and the secret anchorages of the Porto Carras estate. Ample parking available. Guests at Porto Carras resort can board directly from the marina.
At the northeastern tip of Sithonia, Ormos Panagias is the closest base to the Diaporos archipelago, one of the most extraordinary swimming destinations in all of Halkidiki. A half day sailing cruise from here can include the Blue Lagoon at Agios Isidoros, making it one of the most spectacular short routes we offer.
