Ouranoupolis is where traditional Macedonian charm meets cinematic sea views. Mount Athos Resort sits above the small port where boats depart daily towards the monasteries of Mount Athos, giving you a ringside seat on local life. Melt into aquamarine water at nearby beaches, take a ferry over to Ammouliani Island for textbook Greek coves, or wander the fortress-dominated waterfront and Byzantine Tower of Prosforio at sunset.

The resort’s position at the entrance to the Athos peninsula also makes it ideal for boat trips to the Drenia islets, lazy seafood lunches by the sea and day trips to Thessaloniki for a dose of culture and nightlife.

Karnagio beach: approx. 1km
Nearest shops, bars & restaurants: approx. 1.3km
Ouranoupolis resort centre: approx. 12.5km
Local boat trips to Mount Athos & Drenia Islands: from nearby port (weather permitting)
Approx. transfer time from Thessaloniki Airport (SKG): 2 hours

With two main restaurants and a beach bar, dining at Mount Athos Resort mixes modern cooking with a sense of place.

Main Restaurant
Start the day with a generous buffet and à la carte breakfast showcasing international favourites alongside Greek classics – think local cheeses, olives and pastries. Expect a relaxed, light-filled setting and terrace seating in season.

Leuko Kochili Tavern
An à la carte dinner venue focused on Greek and Mediterranean flavours with show cooking. Tuck into fresh seafood, grilled meats and meze-style sharing plates while watching the colours change over the sea (typically open 01 May–09 Oct; reservations often required).

Beach Bar
Down by the sand, the Beach Bar keeps you topped up with chilled drinks and light bites during the day – ideal for a lazy post-swim coffee or sunset aperitif (usually 10:00–18:00, May–September).

Smart-casual dress codes may apply at dinner, and opening times or included venues can vary by season and board basis – your Travelisto documents will confirm what’s included in your stay. For guests considering upgrading to dining-inclusive stays elsewhere, see what All Inclusive typically includes.

The resort’s centrepiece is its elegant, lagoon-style infinity pool – a heated saltwater affair that seems to spill into the Aegean. Loungers, parasols and soft towels are included, and there’s a separate children’s section so younger guests can splash safely alongside the main pool.

The pool is typically heated from mid-May until the end of June, which is ideal if you’re travelling at the start of the season. From the pool terrace it’s only a few steps down to a sandy/pebbly beachfront area, where you can dip into the clear water or wander along the coast to discover quieter coves.

Non-motorised water sports such as canoeing are available (usually run by the hotel, minimum age around 7 years, charges may apply) giving you an easy way to explore the coastline straight from the resort.

Wellness and activity options are low-key but well curated, allowing you to balance pool time with gentle workouts and pampering:

Sport & Fitness
– Air-conditioned gym with cardio machines, free weights area and strength equipment (usually open 01 May–09 Oct)
– Tennis court for casual rallies or a set before sundown
– Canoeing and other non-motorised water sports (seasonal, local charges)

Beauty & Grooming
– On-site hairdresser offering cuts, styling and selected beauty services – handy ahead of a special dinner or as a holiday treat

Families & Kids
– Children’s club for approx. ages 3–18 years with arts and crafts, small team games, drama, music, movie nights and even games consoles (typically 10:00–22:00, May–Oct)
