Day Trip from Thessaloniki: Blue Lagoon Cruise & Diaporos Island

About This Tour

Swap city life for a day in paradise!
This full-day cruise takes you from Thessaloniki to the sparkling waters of Halkidiki’s Blue Lagoon and the remote Robinson Beach.

Start with a comfortable transfer to Ormos Panagias, where you’ll board a traditional wooden boat and begin your scenic cruise through the Toroneos Gulf. Enjoy two extended swimming stops — first at Vourvourou / Diaporo Island, and later at Robinson Beach, a pristine, sea-access-only location.

While sailing between stops, relax with a freshly cooked Greek lunch onboard, served with views of the endless blue. After a relaxing afternoon at sea, return to Thessaloniki by early evening.

Whether you're looking to swim, sunbathe, explore, or just disconnect, this cruise offers the perfect summer escape.
