The Drenia Islands, also known as the "Donkey Islands", are a group of small uninhabited islets located just off the coast of Ouranoupoli in Halkidiki. This hidden paradise combines turquoise waters, exotic beaches, and untouched nature.
📍 How to Get There
To reach this hidden archipelago, you first need to arrive at the beautiful town of Ouranoupoli or the nearby island of Ammouliani. From there, you have three options:
- Boat Rentals: Rent a small motorboat from Ouranoupoli or Ammouliani (no license needed).
- Taxi Boats: Quick and easy water taxis depart frequently from the Ouranoupoli main port.
- Local Transfers: If you are already staying on Ammouliani, you can easily hop on a small boat for a 5-minute ride to Drenia.
🚤 Renting a Boat: Be Your Own Captain
To truly discover the magic of Diaporos, renting a small motorboat is a must. You don't need a license for boats up to 30hp, and the rental companies in Vourvourou will give you a full briefing on how to drive and navigate safely.
Having your own boat gives you the freedom to explore the Blue Lagoon, anchor at Hawaii Beach, or find your own Untouched private cove where no one else can reach.
🏝️ What Makes Drenia Special
Drenia Islands offer a unique "island hopping" experience that you won't find anywhere else in Halkidiki. While it shares the same turquoise water DNA with its neighbor, Ammouliani, Drenia feels much more untouched and secluded.
