Full description

Get picked up at your hotel or nearby location in central Thessaloniki, and then journey by bus to Ormos Panagias for the start of your cruise to the Drenia islands complex of 6 tiny islets. Cool down with a refreshing swim and snorkel with the marine life on arrival, and then enjoy a tasty lunch on the beach. Next, sail to Ammouliani island for a coffee or another chance to swim in the crystal clear waters. Go for a stroll around the village to get an appreciation for everyday life in Greece. Stop for another swim close to the village of Vourvourou and between the Diaporos islands as you cruise back towards Ormos Panagias.

A must see location, just be aware of transfer and lunch is very poor.

It's definitely worth a trip as the water is so beautiful! The 3 stops each had their own uniqueness. MT Tours organised the trip. The coach pick-up was very confusing as our pick-up location changed at short notice. We were told to go to a remote area with no landmarks nearby. The coach didn't wait although we were only 5 minutes late, this meant we paid €70 to get to the next pick-up location. The lady we spoke to in the phone was rude and unhelpful. The lunch provided was awful so I would've much preferred using my time to stay in the water. The 2nd stop at Ammouliani had great little shops and food places, I'd recommend eating there instead. The day itself apart from this was a great experience and the scenery was breath taking.

Very nice place, beautiful sea, really blue lagoon, fantastic swimming from the boat on the end and a beautiful view of the dolphins, the guide honestly did nothing, we lost it all during the trip and on the island if he had given us more information we would not have lived a bit 'all we see what happens after however to recommend for the place
