Boat tours in Ormos Panagias

Boat trips in Ormos Panagias: what to ask

Boat tours in Ormos Panagias start from a working fishing harbour on the east side of Halkidiki, and the operators listed here run trips from it rather than from a resort jetty. Luxury Sport Cruise, based at Marina Lagonisi, offers private cruises, self-drive boats and skippered yachts, with routes it gives as the Blue Lagoon, Diaporos and Sithonia. Lux Sea Cruises, at Latoura, runs private speedboat tours with motor boats to the Blue Lagoon and Diaporos Island and describes itself as family-run, with more than 20 years in the boat trip industry. Sailscape Cruises, also at Marina Lagonisiou, sails private cruises and names Sithonia, Diaporos and Agion Oros among its areas.

Zephyrus Boat Rental keeps to simpler outings, with boats the operator says can be used without a licence, and points to Diaporos Island and Vourvourou as places to explore from Ormos Panagias. Trips differ in what they include, so ask each operator before booking: whether the boat is private or shared, whether a skipper comes with it, how long the day cruise runs and what is on board. Sunset trips and catamaran trips are worth raising directly, as not every operator mentions them.
