“Kelyfos” island also known as Helona (means Turtle or черепаха) is our first stop. Swim the crystal clear waters or snorkel as the rocky bottom has a lot of life to observe. After that, the time for the usual sea breeze is up and we open sails towards the south to Gerochristos island and lemos beach. Here the sandbar that connects the peninsula with the mainland has the sea on both sides. The beach has been visited by famous movie star yachts. Next, it’s time for our stop at a taverna. you can enjoy your sandwiches on the yacht or order fresh fish at the taverna.  After lunch, we tour the secret coves south of Neos Marmaras and stop for one last swim before returning to one of the most scenic beaches of Halkidiki, Kamenos.

Why we do Halkidiki sailing boat day trips at west Sithonia in Toroneos gulf

  • It’s an area that is very beautiful.
  • with a lot of secret coves inaccessible by a car that you can swim and enjoy alone, for guests that like privacy.
  • It has a few beach bars with a character that only the local Greeks know about for guests that like to party.
  • We visit Kelyfos Island, remote, and beautiful with crystal clear waters.
  • The winds are generally mild and boukadoura wind (sea breeze) comes from the south about noon and it’s just right for sailing. That is the main reason that we don’t start the tour earlier as usually there is zero wind early in the morning.
  • If the Meltemi wind is a bit strong we can sail close to land and avoid a bumpy ride, or use it to sail better.
  • Neos Marmaras is a nice place to visit if you haven’t already, easily accessible by car, taxi, or bus. And it has great food and a very good market for shopping

About fishing on your day trip

Half-day sailing trips in Kassandra or trip Sithonia, Halkidiki region

We do not recommend private half-day or less than 5 hours trips as we feel we would be cheating our guests. Simply there is not enough time to see the best places in the area (which, unlike Fokies and Afytos, has a lot more to see than cliffs). Not to mention that you are chartering a yacht to relax, not run from beach to beach because there is not enough time. The price difference is not that big, to begin with.

What about Mount Athos, can we include a tour of it in our itinerary? Can we start from Sarti?

Unfortunately, Mount Athos is just too far away from our base to include a tour of it in our route. We sail around in Toroneos gulf. There is no place in Halkidiki where we could start that would make a tour of Mt Athos a good idea for a sailboat route. At the closes places like Sarti or Skala Sykias you need about 2h to go and 2:30h to come back, plus at least a 2h tour. this means that for more than 6:30h the boat will be sailing (or early in the morning probably motoring) without the possibility to stop for swimming. So our guests would spend most of the day out in the sun, no swimming, no stop to relax and lunch. Been there, done that, and nobody was happy. Keep in mind that you see the monasteries at a distance of at least 500m (it is prohibited to go closer to land and is regularly enforced). The monasteries are fantastic, but it’s like looking at the Parthenon from the nearest hill, not the same as actually being in it. So we recommend getting one of the big boats from Ormos Panagias and spending a day morning seeing Mt. Athos. And another day relaxing on the water with us.
