Halkidiki is famous for its Byzantine towers and ancient ruins. It is Aristotle’s birthplace, ancient Stagira, and consists of areas of historical importance, such as the Xerxes canal. Mount Athos is also a top religious destination. Here is where Athos (name of one of the giants in Greek mythology) cast a massive rock toward the god of the sea, Poseidon, which missed and fell into the Aegean waters, creating Mount Athos (with a height of 2000m). The Byzantine and Ottoman eras had an immediate influence on Mt. Athos. Several monasteries had been developed, and the presence of women is prohibited to this day. You can still enjoy a boat trip around Athos to better understand monastic life, which will make you feel closer to the history of orthodoxy. The special geographical composition of Halkidiki, with its three legs that protrude and form two enchanting bays, creates unique natural beauties. Each "leg" has developed its own generous contribution to history over the years, creating a unique charm and beauty to the present day. The three legs consist of Kassandra, Sithonia, and Athos; each offering perfect daily cruises. Halkidiki has dense forests and exotic beaches with clear waters that are waiting to be discovered by you on the sailboat of your choice. 

 By hiring a catamaran in Halkidiki, you can also create your own 5-day or 7-day yacht charter itinerary with other destinations. The Sporades islands in the northwest or Thassos, Lemnos, and Samothrace in north-eastern Greece are some great choices you can consider. The Sporades islands consist of Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos, and Skyros. Lalaria beach and the island of Tsoukgrias in Skiathos, the port of Patitiri in Alonissos, Agios Ioannis church in Skopelos, and the main town of Chora in Skyros are must-visit spots. On the northwestern side of the Aegean, you can visit Thassos, which resembles a floating forest, as most of its surface is covered with greenery. The village of Limenas is the capital of the island known for its large marina and bright blue waters. South-east of the island, you can come across Lemnos, which has many big and small beaches that are great for anchoring your vessel. An adventurous cruise to the non-crowded island of Efstratios is also an option. Finally, Samothrace, which is 58 miles away from Kavala, is an ideal cruising ground for the sailors who prefer a challenge--the choice is completely yours; you have a variety of options and sailing routes you can pick from.
