What better way to spend the day than sailing over the Aegean, stopping at beaches and islands along the way? An absolute must for everyone! A very special day for ‘’fun under the sun’’. A relaxed day cruise between the peninsulas of Kassandra and Sithonia. First up, you’ll board a galleon-style ship, lazing on deck as it cuts through the waters and passes by green islands. Then, you’ll drop anchor at Toroni Bay, spend a couple of hours here soaking up the sun and swimming in the sea before rejoining your ship. Next, your boat will cruise on to Turtle Island, a pine-wooded island that’s shaped like a sleeping turtle. Here, you’ll get another chance to swim or snorkel or lounge on deck before the crew call time up and you sail back to port.
Thessaloniki - Capital of Macedonia Greece built in 315 BC by King Kassandros and named it after his wife Thessaloniki, who was the half-sister of Alexander the Great.
