Dream trip!!! - A great trip! Very pleasant atmosphere, beautiful boat, delicious coffee frappé, beautiful nature! We were hoping to see dolphins, unfortunately they were only there for a very short time. And yet it is highly recommended! The crew is extremely nice and friendly, we felt very welcome!

Mount Athos boat trip - Lovely and professional boat trip along Mount Athos to see all the monasteries (from afar) and then a stop at the island. The booking and trip was made so easy! Really enjoyed this trip. The icing on the cake was definitely the lovely staff, friendly and service with a smile!

Great - It was great. Everything went smoothly. Great tour, would do it again. The crew was very nice. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to get to the largest monastery, which we would have liked to see. We had booked the 5-hour tour.

Everything was amazing! - I took the cruise trip to Mount Athos and Amouliani with my friend, and loved it. We booked the trip online and reached out to the Eirinikos team before our arrival to ask for other trips that we can take besides the one to Mount Athos. They were the only ones extremely responsive and helpful. It was the end of the season (10th of October 2023) so it was the only cruise left from Ouranopoli, so we went 2 times to Mount Athos as we loved it the first time. From the boat you'll get to see important monasteries, learn a bit about them, visit a beautiful island called Amouliani where you really need to try burrito and frappe with ice cream, really the best. You can swim there - the water is crystal clear, walk around the island where you'll see how nice the locals arranged their homes, friendly cats on every street, a nice vibe overall. The cruise was a great choice in our vacation and we even got to see dolphins, which made us thrilled! I'm looking forward the next year to take the Blue Lagoon cruise and I will definitely choose the Eirinikos Glassbottom team again!

Great boat trip, exactly what was expected - A very reasonably priced trip along the Mount Athos coast to see the monasteries (real eye opener, they are huge) and finishes with a trip to the nearby island for 90 minutes. We enjoyed it, very relaxing

Nice tour, but..... - The boat trip was great. The lunch included in the price was very good. Better than expected. All in all, a recommended tour. The worst part, however, came in the form of excessive parking fees. When we arrived in the morning, we were directed straight to a parking lot designated for the tour without any parking fees being displayed. There was no verbal notice either. That cost us a whopping 10 euros, even though you could have parked anywhere in Ormos Panagias for free.

Very nice! - Great cruise! We enjoyed the boat trip past the many monasteries and the visit to the island of Ammouliani. Lovely beach. The glass bottom of the boat is just not worth much. And the boat is also quite full in September. Chairs are too close together

Fine, could be better - A fine tour, a good price but very little info about the monasteries. Mostly just a listing of age and documents they have. The sound in the speakers weren't that good. In an info mail ahead of the tour we were encouraged to bring our swimsuit. Being an alone adult with smaller two kids that still uses water wings and belt. I then brought swimmingsuits for 3 people, 2 set of armwings, 2 swimming belts and a couple of towels... but there was no chance to swim. Its alot to bring along and not get a chance to use it. The glasbottom - we really couldn't see anything because of the speed. At the very end we could see a little. Letting people smoke on board half inside the ship (near the stairs) was a big dislike from here.

Good - but not essential - It was nice to see the monastery, but the boat trip was quite long. At the end we ended up on an island for 1.5 hours where there wasn't much to see other than food and drink. We didn't need that.
