Excursions to the resorts in Greece are popular both among those who do not have their own car and among those who want to see the resort from a different perspective - by boat.

In Sithonia, there are numerous excursions organized by local agencies. Local agencies can be found in Sarti, Neos Marmaras, Nikiti, and Ormos Panagias.
From all of these places, there are cruises to the surrounding beaches and some coves that can only be reached by boat. The easiest way to find out more about these cruises is to visit one of the local agencies. They often have prominent advertisements on the promenade, so you can compare the content of the cruises and prices.

The most beautiful excursions in Sithonia

You can book slightly longer cruises to Mount Athos (a tour around Mount Athos), the island of Ammouliani, the Donkey Islands in Mount Athos, the Blue Lagoon, and the island of Diaporos in the mentioned places, but the boats depart from Ormos Panagias. If you book a cruise at local agencies in Sarti, Marmaras, or Nikiti, you will have organized bus transport to Ormos and then continue by boat. Another option is to visit Ormos Panagias directly and buy a ticket for the cruise at the port. In that case, you need to arrive early and visit the port by 9 am or later in the afternoon, after 5 pm.

As part of organized bus excursions from Sithonia, you can visit the Meteora, Thessaloniki, the water park in Thessaloniki, and by boat, Pefkohori in Kassandra and swim at the Xenia Beach, then visit the beautiful island of Diaporos and the famous Blue Lagoon, try fishing or diving, take a tour around Mount Athos, have lunch in Ouranoupolis, visit the famous Alikes Beach on the island of Ammouliani, and so on.
