What you'll see and do
Our main destination is the Navagio beach Epanomi area opposite of Mt. Olympus, the residence of the Greek Gods! You will get amazed by the spectacle of a cape in the shape of a sandy tongue that gets into the sea. Along literally sandy coastline with shells, turquoise waters competing in beauty with the different sets of a shipwreck. It sank in about 1970 giving its mark on the beach. It adds more excitement to the scenery and offers an incentive for underwater exploring. The natural images, the rhythms of nature and the journey with the sailing boat will magnetize you and build you an unprecedented feeling of freedom. At noon before the hunger conquers us, you will taste a delicious lunch prepared (from scratch) by the Captain with the fragrance of Northern Greece with the accompaniment of local wine while listening to Greek music!

One of the best experiences in Greece
Very nice experience. The guide was good and friendly. The day started a bit windy and a little chilly, but we had enough clothes, so we were okay. We swam in the shipwreck bay, and the water was lovely and warm. We had a nice Greek lunch prepared by the guide with some white wine. I would recommend this trip to families, couples, or friends. It would be suitable for everybody.
Response from the operator: Thank you 😊 I wish you all the best ⛵

Fantastic half day trip
6 of us just got back from a fantastic afternoon with Mike. As well as a great captain..& chef, Mike is a lovely guy. Two swim stops & a history tour. Lunch was great too.
Response from the operator: Thank you Cristian! You are fantastic people ⛵🌊🇬🇷

An excellent day for the family
We spent an excellent day on Makis’ boat and would definitely do it again. The shipwreck, although interesting, was not the star of the day. We enjoyed even more watching the dolphins accompanying the boat for part of our journey, and having a delicious and satisfying Greek lunch prepared from scratch by Makis. He was a great captain and host, very hospitable and engaging. The boat is impeccably tidy, and the pacing of the day was perfect. It was most definitely the highlight of our trip to Thessaloniki!
Response from the operator: Thank you Elaine ☺️. I wish you all the best ⛵

Shipwreck, dolphins and good food (& wine)!
We had the BEST time ever on this 6 hour trip. We were lucky enough to have a private tour as we were the only one to book on that day so it made it super romantic for us as a couple. Spending time in the clear turquoise waters and visiting a shipwreck was incredible. We even got to see some dolphins on our trip!! Makis is an extraordinary and welcoming captain and guide; he makes you feel very at home and safe, and his food was so so good - super fresh and seasoned so well! The wine was honestly the best wine we've ever had. I highly recommend booking with Makis, it was definitely the highlight of our trip! I booked through Revolut using my points which brought the price down quite a bit but it was honestly worth way more than what you're paying for!
Response from the operator: Thank you Selina. You are amazing girls! I wish you all the best ⛵

Such a great day! Well worth it!!!
We had THE BEST DAY ever with Makis on his beautiful boat. Makis was the nicest host and made us feel so welcome. The kids (11 and 13) had an absolute blast jumping off the boat and swimming around the shipwreck! Lunch was delicious and the clean plates all round was a credit to Makis’ cooking. We had two stops and plenty of swimming time. We were also lucky enough to see dolphins! Such a special day. Thank you again Makis.

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay !: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Thessaloniki.
How much does Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay ! cost?
+
Prices start at $109 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Thessaloniki usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay ! take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Thessaloniki is not rushed.
Is Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay ! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 70 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Thessaloniki, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay !?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay ! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay !?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Thessaloniki can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Thessaloniki and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay ! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Thessaloniki within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Thessaloniki?
+
On Outty we rank every Thessaloniki experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gastronomic Food Tour in Thessaloniki with a Chef, Discover Vergina and Pella: Day Trip to Macedonian Kingdom, Thessaloniki Food Tour: A Feast of Local Delicacies. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Thessaloniki?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Thessaloniki?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
