NORTHERN GREECE
The "Untouched Elegance"
"Northern Greece: The Secret Shores of Halkidiki and Beyond."
"The flapping of the sail against the mast,
The ripple of the water on the side,
The ripple of girls’ laughter at the stern,
The only sounds:—when ’gan the West to burn,
And a red sun upon the seas to ride,
I stood upon the soil of Greece at last"
Oscar Wilde.
Discover a side of the Aegean that few ever see. From the sacred silhouette of Mount Athos to the exotic blue lagoons of Vourvourou, experience the ultimate 'off-the-grid' luxury with 24 years of maritime expertise.
"Uncharted Beauty, Expertly Guided." Northern Greece offers a sense of space and freedom that is rare in the Mediterranean. My two decades of experience allow us to navigate the three 'fingers' of Halkidiki and the wild beauty of Thasos and Samothrace with precision. We specialize in finding empty anchorages and private beaches that remain untouched by the masses, ensuring your journey is as exclusive as it is serene.
Halkidiki (Kassandra & Sithonia): "Sail along the 'Second Finger,' where the forest meets the sand. We’ll drop anchor in the turquoise lagoons of Diaporos, a cluster of islets that feels like the Caribbean of the North, perfect for a private day of paddleboarding and swimming."
The Shadow of Mount Athos: "Experience a view like no other. We sail the legal distance along the coast of the Monastic Republic, where ancient Byzantine monasteries cling to the cliffs. It is a hauntingly beautiful, spiritual landscape that can only be truly appreciated from the deck of a yacht."
Thasos & Samothrace: "For the true explorer, we head north. Thasos offers emerald waters and marble-white sands, while the rugged peaks of Samothrace provide a dramatic backdrop for those seeking the wild, raw energy of the Great Gods' island."
Limnos: "The island of Hephaestus. We’ll guide you to the vast sand dunes and the quiet, traditional villages where you can taste some of the finest wines and cheeses in all of Greece, far from the reach of mainstream tourism."
"Northern Greece is my choice for the guest who wants to truly disappear. I’ve spent 24 years charting these northern paths, ensuring that every bay we enter and every port we visit offers the absolute best in Greek hospitality and safety. If you’re ready to see the Greece that most people never find, let’s set sail for the North."
LOCAL CUISINE
In Limnos you'll find a long tradition in cheese-making. If you're a cheese lover, you'll explore a rich variety of PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) traditional white cheeses, including the famous "kalathaki Limnou". What's more, you'll find plenty of PDO local wines, internationally awarded, to pair your cheese with locally made on the same island. As a matter of fact, the wine from Mithymna was considered by the Ancient Greeks as the legendary ambrosia; the nectar that the Olympian Gods drank.
Limnos also has a long history in apiculture, specializing in a thick, amber honey which smells of the herb thyme. There's also production of wheat and barley flour, which are then used in making "flomaria" a local type of pasta, and "trachanas", a type of thick soup made from fermented goat milk and flour.
CULTURE, EXPLORATION & ACTIVITIES
In Limnos you can visit the Petrified Forest, fossilized trunks, leaves and fruit dating back 22 million years. On the same island, you can visit the oldest known Neolithic City in the old world. One of the buildings there is thought to be the oldest parliament in the world.
If you're interested in Mythology and History, you'll find the Sanctuary of the Great Gods in Samothrace, built by an Amazon Queen. You can walk around the Archaeological Site of Philippi in Kavala. Or you can discover the archaeological site of Hephaestia dating from 1000BC in Lemnos. Find the ruins of a city which has been built and rebuilt during the ages and which includes palaces, a necropolis, Christian churches, Hellenistic theaters and Sanctuaries dedicated to the Ancient Goddess.
If you're looking for a day devoted to health and relaxation, discover the thermal springs of Hephaestus in Lemnos, or visit the waterfalls at the village of Kaspakas.
If you're interested in religious history, specifically Christian, then Mount Athos might be of interest. The peninsula is home to 20 monasteries and approximately 2000 monks.
If you like water sports, then you'll probably enjoy the sandy beaches of Thanos, Gomati and Keros in Lemnos, and you'll find surfing, water skiing and snorkelling equipement to buy or rent in most of Thassos' main beaches. If you prefer hiking then you may enjoy the lush vegetation and fresh water spots in Thassos island.
