Discover the “Hidden Gems” of Sithonia: Private Cruises to Kavourotrypes & Orange Beach

Escape the Crowds: The Ultimate Kavourotrypes Boat Trip

Kavourotrypes—literally translated as “Crab Holes”—is widely considered the most beautiful coastline in Halkidiki. While thousands of tourists flock to the famous Orange Beach (Portokali) by land, the true magic of this area lies in the dozens of secret, turquoise coves that are only accessible by sea.

With a private cruise from Lux Sea Cruises, you skip the hiking and the crowds. We drop anchor in the heart of the “Crab Holes,” allowing you to swim in the most famous waters of Greece from the comfort of your own private deck.

Why Kavourotrypes is a “Must-Visit” on Your Halkidiki Holiday

The landscape of Kavourotrypes is unlike anything else in the Mediterranean. Imagine brilliant white limestone rock formations contrasting against deep pine green and the most vibrant shades of blue and emerald water.

• The Famous Rock Carvings: See the iconic mermaid carved into the soft white stone—a legendary sight that defines the artistic spirit of Sithonia.

• Unrivaled Snorkeling: The rocky underwater topography of Kavourotrypes creates a natural aquarium. It is arguably the best snorkeling spot in Sithonia, with incredible visibility and diverse marine life.

• Privacy in Paradise: While the main beach is packed, our skippers know the “inner holes”—tiny, private sandy pockets where you can enjoy the water in total peace.

Our Kavourotrypes half-day or full-day cruises are designed for those who want to see the best of Sithonia without the stress.
