Just a so so tour

Even when we had a small good time during the tour but it truly isn’t worth money and a whole day to try.
We spent almost time on the road and on a shared boat with lot of ppl only to see some Monasteries from the distance.
The highlight of the tour is Ammouliani beach. The beach is very nice but we had only 180 mins for swimming and relaxing. It’s unfair for that long road trip.
So if you just wanna go to Ammouliani beach and enjoy your time there, my advice is buying boat ticket from the port in the city center to go direct to Ammouliani. It’d the best way to save your time, for sure.
Anw the driver is kindly, friendly, helpful. Thanks him for being our company on the other day.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review your Day Trip to Ouranoupoli with Mt. Athos Cruise.
We are sorry to hear that you did not fully enjoy tour trip.
Please note that we do not mention that we visit the monasteries anywhere. It is not possible for anyone to join the monasteries.
Thank you for your nice comments about our trip attendant .
We hope to see you again in the future.
Best regards,
Mary Polatidou

We went on a very hot day. If leaving from Thessaloniki be aware the one way trip is at least two hours.
The boat is good and staff good. Bar on boat but too many smoking areas for our liking. If you don’t smoke only area is inside the boat not outside. In our opinion smoking on any boat is dangerous.
The Cruise past Monastery’s was good and good highlights but with bus trip consumes the majority of your time if leaving from Thessaloniki.
If your planning at the stop over to have a swim and lunch at restaurant you won’t have time. If you are going to swim take your own lunch or skip it is our advise.
The beach you stop at is OK but not idyllic.
Overall a good experience but not exceptional.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
