Set sail from Ouranoupoli without a license aboard the Karel Ithaca 550. Visit secluded beaches and snorkel vibrant reefs while enjoying the freedom to chart your own course on the Aegean Sea.
Ouranoupoli, located on Greece's northeastern coast at the gateway to the Halkidiki peninsula, serves as an ideal launching point for sea-based adventures in the Aegean. This small town is best known for its proximity to Mount Athos, a rugged and sacred peninsula, but its shimmering coastline and nearby beach coves offer a playground for water lovers. Rent a Boat Lampou provides an accessible way to navigate this stunning seascape with their Karel Ithaca 550 boat rentals. These vessels, sized to comfortably fit groups of up to eight, provide the freedom to visit stretches of coastline and islands that remain largely untouched by crowds.
What sets Rent a Boat Lampou apart is their license-free system, opening boating to visitors without prior experience or official permits. Setting off from Ouranoupoli’s docks, renters can glide along crystal-clear waters to secluded beaches like Alykes and Megali Amos. These quiet, sandy strips are perfect for swimming, snorkeling reefs teeming with Mediterranean fish, or simply relaxing under the sun’s warmth. The boat’s design combines ease of handling with enough power to cover distances quickly, making it possible to craft personalized itineraries ranging from gentle day trips to full-day coastal excursions.
The nearby Aegean islands add another layer of intrigue, each boasting white sands bordered by turquoise seas and dramatic rocky outcrops formed from the region’s limestone geology. The flora here includes patches of Mediterranean pine and wildflowers that dot the shores. Historically, Ouranoupoli has been a staging point for pilgrims to Mount Athos’s monasteries since the Byzantine era, lending a unique cultural backdrop to your boating day.
Rent a Boat Lampou’s service fills a critical gap for visitors eager to engage with Halkidiki’s maritime landscape but who want independence and flexibility without formal boating qualifications. Whether it’s a family outing or a small group of friends, booking the Karel Ithaca 550 offers a memorable, hands-on stage to taste the raw beauty of northern Greece’s coast.
