Discover the Back to the ’80s Disco Cruise Ammouliani Round Tour
Imagine cruising along the coast of Central Macedonia, Greece, with the sun setting behind Mount Athos, while the beats of the 1980s pulse through the air. This 2.5-hour disco cruise from Ouranoupolis is a playful mix of scenic beauty and musical nostalgia. Led by attentive crew and a DJ spinning the best hits from the decade, this tour offers a lively way to unwind and soak up some Greek maritime charm. The starting point is at the Ouranoupolis port, where the sleek yacht named Eirinikos Glassbottom awaits, ready to ferry you into an afternoon of sun, sea, and dance.
What makes this experience stand out? First, the spectacular views of the Drenia islets and Mount Athos provide a breathtaking backdrop for your party. Second, the VIP deck creates a relaxed space where you can sip a cocktail or simply take in the scenery in style. It’s a casual, fun way to enjoy the Greek coast with a bit of nostalgic flair.
One thing to consider is that food and drinks are not included. If you’re expecting a full meal or beverages, you’ll need to bring your own or plan to buy locally. Also, while the music and scenery are lively, this tour isn’t ideal if you’re seeking a more subdued or cultural experience—think of it as a dance party on the water with fantastic vistas.
This cruise appeals best to travelers who enjoy dancing, scenic views, and lively atmospheres. It’s perfect for those looking to add a fun, memorable evening to their trip, or for groups wanting to celebrate in style. If you’re a fan of the 80s or simply enjoy a lively sunset, this tour is likely to be a highlight.

Itinerary Breakdown
The cruise begins with a gentle ride around the Drenia islets.

We loved the way the clear water illuminated the seabed, turning it into a shimmering display once the lights flicked on at night.
Next, the boat offers a prime photo op of the Tower of Ouranoupolis, a historic landmark that stands as a reminder of the area’s medieval past. The views from the deck—especially with the fading sunlight—are breathtaking and set a perfect mood for the evening.
As the sun dips below the horizon, the crew switches on the onboard lights and the DJ cranks the volume. The music becomes more energetic, encouraging guests to dance and let loose. The highlight is undoubtedly the illuminated seabed seen through the glass bottom at night—a surreal experience that adds a magical touch to the party.
