This route connects the Megisti Lavra monastery landing at the far southeastern tip of the Athos peninsula with Ierissos on the Singitic Gulf, taking around two hours and twenty minutes. Agioreitikes Grammes operates it as part of the small network of boats serving the monastic community. It runs down the eastern coast of Athos, which is the only practical way to reach several of the monasteries.
Ierissos is a small coastal town on the third leg of Halkidiki, quiet and low-key rather than a large resort. It has a decent sandy beach of its own and is mainly used as a gateway and base for the Mount Athos side of the peninsula. The harbour is a small local port rather than a major terminal, so facilities are modest.
The service runs roughly daily in season and is subject to weather on this exposed coast. Current sailings are shown in the table below. Note that entry to the Athos peninsula itself requires a permit and is restricted to male visitors, so this boat is not a general tourist route; Ouranoupoli is the other main departure point for the area.

Tips for the Megisti Lavra to Ierissos ferry
- If you are travelling in winter, a compact rain jacket and a warm mid-layer are essential – the on-deck temperature can drop significantly on overnight crossings.

- Board early to secure a good seat on open-plan ferries – the best spots near windows and on the outside deck fill quickly.
