Things To Do

Athos Cruises - Take a trip to Mount Athos by pirate ship. Follow the coastline to the towering Mount Athos; this day trip takes you across the Aegean. As you travel towards Mount Athos, keep a close eye as dolphins have been spotted on this route. As you reach Mount Athos, you'll see monasteries 1000 years old scattered up the mountain. Unfortunately, women aren't allowed up the mountain to the monasteries due to strict rules enforced by the monks. 

Gastronomy - Like most coastal Greek destinations and Greece as a whole, for that matter, the seafood is immaculate. Ormos Panagias is no exception, with outstanding local tavernas and restaurants. Ormos Panagias has a daily fish market right on the dock, which is a lovely pastime to visit. You'll probably see the fish you'll eat at the taverner.

Rent a boat - With many rental boat companies operating here, you can pick your ship and set sail into the crystal blue sea. Bring some snacks and drinks and enjoy the day floating along calm waters. Don't forget your goggles! There are plenty of fish in the sea.
