Itinerary of the Halkidiki day sailing from  Sithonia

Kelyfos is 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 for 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. Used to be just ours, but now everybody wants to visit Angelina Jolie beach. 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. Here the green of the trees comes all the way to the clear waters.
The Itinerary may change because of the weather or if the guest likes to do something else, for example, eat lunch on the way for more sailing time.

Halkidiki activities: What about fishing during our day trip?

Our Jeanneau 11m is very well equipped for fishing with equipment for both, light trawling for Palamida ( a mackerel type of fish) as well as tuna game fishing in Halkidiki. Some of the other yachts are also equipped for light trawling fishing. We only do this type of fishing as it’s the best way to actually catch something big enough to have fun in the middle of the day. All other types of fishing require you to start the trip way too early before the sun rises, and normally most people don’t want to do this on their holidays.

Why we sail at west Sithonia trip

• 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.
• The winds are generally mild and boukadoura wind (sea breeze) comes from the south at about 12:00 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, and faster.

This is why we choose Neos Marmaras, Sithonia, and Halkidiki – Greece for our base. This also gives us the opportunity to pick people up from the Kassandra peninsula and take them away from the crowded beaches to some of the most beautiful Sithonia areas.
