Diaporos Island lies off the eastern coast of Sithonia in Halkidiki. It sits directly across from the coastal village of Vourvourou. Although close to the mainland, the island feels remote and untouched. Since the island has no bridges, travelers must reach it by boat or kayak.

Most people rent small motorboats from Vourvourou. Fortunately, a boat license is not required for vessels under 30 horsepower. Rental companies provide full instructions and safety gear. For this reason, the trip suits beginners as well as experienced boaters. During summer, it helps to book boats in advance.

The Blue Lagoon stands out as the island’s top attraction. This shallow bay lies between Diaporos and Agios Isidoros. Because of its white sandy seabed, the water appears bright turquoise.

Beyond the Blue Lagoon, Diaporos offers many quiet beaches. Myrsini Beach features white sand, calm waters, and a pine forest backdrop. Furthermore, its natural shade allows for longer beach days. On the northern side, Kryftos Bay offers privacy and soft waters. Pirates once used this bay as a hidden shelter, adding a hint of history to its charm.

In addition to boat rentals, guided cruises present another way to explore. Several companies offer sunset trips around the island. These cruises include stops for swimming and drinks onboard. 

However, Diaporos lacks shops, restaurants, and public restrooms. Therefore, visitors should prepare carefully. Bringing snacks, water, sunscreen, and towels ensures a more comfortable trip. Some travelers also pack coolers and picnic items, especially for longer stays. 

In conclusion, Diaporos Island and the Blue Lagoon combine adventure with natural beauty. With easy access, calm waters, and no crowds, the island promises a relaxing day.
