Nea Fokea! This charming town is on the east coast of the Kassandra peninsula, just 78km from Thessaloniki. Our Chalkidiki tours include destinations like Nea Fokea due to historical interest and beautiful picturesque landscapes. What makes Nea Fokea so unique? For starters, it boasts a fascinating history of over 5,000 years! The most prominent landmark in the town is the impressive Byzantine Tower, which overlooks the picturesque port. Built to protect the marine trading route between this area and Thessaloniki, this Tower has stood the test of time and is now a must-visit attraction. But that's not all - Nea Fokea is also a tiny church called Apostle Paul's Holy Water, located across the port. This unique church is a cave leading to a carved underground corridor. As you walk through the corridor, you must kneel to move forward. At the end of the corridor, you'll find a tank where holy water is gathered and a space where you can stand up. Legend states that Apostle Paul found shelter in this cave when he was persecuted and preached and baptized Christians in the holy water tank.

Are you a history enthusiast or a lover of ancient architecture and monasticism? If so, then you must visit Mount Athos in northeastern Greece. This majestic mountain and peninsula is an important center of Eastern Orthodox Monasticism and is home to 20 fascinating Monasteries. The Athonite Monasteries hold a rich collection of well-preserved artifacts, rare books, ancient documents, and artworks of immense historical value. Since 1988, Mount Athos has been listed as a World Heritage site and inhabited since ancient times. It is known for its long continuous Christian presence and long historical monastic traditions dating to 800 AD and the Byzantine era. However, women are not allowed to enter the Athonite State. Only men are allowed to enter after an arrangement must be made before the visit. But don't worry; many cruises are held daily, approaching from the sea and making it possible for everyone, even in this way, to admire the beautiful landscapes and some of the many centuries-old Monasteries from a distance. Enjoy the opportunity to experience Mount Athos's spiritual beauty and history. Book your trip now and immerse yourself in Greece's rich culture.
