Blue Lagoon-Vourvourou Lunch Cruise from Ouranoupolis

Swim from the boat stairs into water so clear you see the seafloor three meters down.

A six-hour lunch cruise from Ouranoupolis port aboard a glassbottom vessel, with two swimming stops at Blue Lagoon-Vourvourou and Alikes Lagoon in Halkidiki, plus traditional Greek souvlaki served during the return journey. The boat departs at 11am and returns at 5pm. Vegetarian meals are available with one day's notice.

Step-by-step itinerary

Blue Lagoon and Alikes Lagoon Cruise

• Board boat at Ouranoupolis port
• Swim and snorkel at Blue Lagoon
• Enjoy Greek souvlaki lunch on board
• Cruise to Ammouliani island
• Swim at Alikes Lagoon beach port
• Return to Ouranoupolis port

The experience

The boat leaves Ouranoupolis port at 11am and heads straight to Blue Lagoon-Vourvourou, where you get 1.5 hours to swim and snorkel. You enter the water directly from the boat's stairs into water that stays at three meters deep: shallow enough to see the bottom clearly. The lagoon's islet sits in the middle of some of Halkidiki's clearest water, and the glassbottom design means you can watch the seafloor even while aboard.

After the first swim stop, lunch arrives: traditional Greek souvlaki pork grilled and served while the boat cruises back toward Ammouliani. If you don't eat pork or meat, let the operator know one day ahead and they'll prepare a vegetarian option instead. The meal happens on board, so you eat while moving between stops rather than anchored at a restaurant.

The second stop is Alikes Lagoon, where the boat pulls into the beach port and you have another 1.5 hours in the water. You're back at Ouranoupolis by 5pm. The audio guide is available in English and Greek. Infants can travel in a pram or stroller, and service animals are welcome aboard.
