Ouranoupoli is a small coastal town located in the region of Halkidiki in northern Greece. It is situated at the entrance of the Athos Peninsula, which is also known as the Holy Mountain or Agion Oros in Greek.
The Athos Peninsula is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to a number of monasteries and hermitages that date back to the Byzantine era.
Visitors to Ouranoupoli can take a boat tour around the peninsula, which offers stunning views of the monasteries and the surrounding coastline. The boat tours usually depart from the town’s harbor and last for several hours, allowing visitors to see the main monasteries and other points of interest along the coast.
