Morning light slices the Aegean as the boat slides away from Vourvourou’s pier, sails easing and the skipper reading a horizon that promises turquoise coves. The water dares you to dive in; small islands draw close like islands of quiet. On this five-hour private sail you’ll thread between pine-backed headlands, drop anchor in sheltered bays and float over water clear enough to show the sandy bottom.

Morning light slices the Aegean as the boat slides away from Vourvourou’s pier, sails easing and the skipper reading a horizon that promises turquoise coves. The water dares you to dive in; small islands draw close like islands of quiet. On this five-hour private sail you’ll thread between pine-backed headlands, drop anchor in sheltered bays and float over water clear enough to show the sandy bottom.
Sithonia occupies the middle prong of Halkidiki, where granite ridges meet the sea and ancient olive groves spill down to fishing hamlets. Diaporos island and the so-called Blue Lagoon owe their color to shallow seas over white sand and healthy seagrass beds; local fishermen and Byzantine-era chapels dot the coastline, a reminder of human rhythms that have followed these bays for centuries.
Expect a mix of slow cruising and active stops — time to swim, snorkel from the boat, or paddle a supplied SUP into a tucked-away inlet. The skipper sets the pace, pointing out coves less visited by tour boats and advising where to drop anchor without harming the seabed.
Practical points: book a morning departure for calmer seas and cooler light, bring reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for rocky shores, and pack a light wind layer for the return. Seas can be choppy in the afternoon; guests prone to motion sickness should plan accordingly. The tour includes skipper, fuel and snorkel gear; infants must sit on laps. Sail with respect for the water: avoid anchoring on seagrass and take any trash back to shore.
Private sails typically depart from Vourvourou or a nearby marina and return to the same port; check your booking confirmation for the exact meeting point.
Yes — snorkel masks and fins are included; bring your own mask if you prefer a personal fit.
Children can join but infants must sit on an adult’s lap; confirm child accommodations when booking.
