Take a ferry to Nea Roda, then a short bus or taxi ride to Ouranoupolis — a picturesque seaside town with a 14th-century tower, a colorful fishing harbor, and stalls selling icons. All official permitted boat tours along the coast of Athos depart from here. Ouranoupolis combines historical heritage, a vibrant harbor, and proximity to Mount Athos, making it one of the most popular destinations to visit in this part of Halkidiki.
