Fodor's Expert Review Athos Sea Cruises

Some travelers prefer to cruise past the area's monasteries since they are off-limits to women. Athos Sea Cruises has six separate cruises that sail here from April to October embarking at either 9:30 or 10:30 am, with an additional afternoon departure at 2 pm from May to October; tours last three hours. There is commentary in English, French, Russian, and German. Tickets can be bought from the Ouranoupolis central square.
