WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Agistri is one of the Saronic Gulf’s islands, ideal for a weekend getaway from Athens. Thanks to its magnificent natural environment and the secluded, sun-drenched beaches, this island is a little hidden gem ready to be explored. Visit the most spectacular beaches and taste delicious traditional delicacies. Get lost in Megalochori’s streets with charming houses and taverns. This is what you really expect from Agistri: authenticity, freedom, and tranquillity.
2.
Metopi or Aponisos or Moni, our swimming spot is chosen based on weather conditions in order to enjoy pristine crystal-clear green-blue waters full of underwater sea life. You could not ask for more than our chosen swimming spot which can offer you an ideal situation for both swimming and snorkelling.

Aegina is the largest island in the Saronic Gulf, just 17 miles away from Athens. Aegina’s ancient history takes place back in 500 B.C. Explore the ancient Greek temple of Apollo known as Kolona, meaning column, because just one column remains today from this ancient construction. It dates from the 6th century BC, even earlier than the Parthenon in Athens. Aegina is also famous worldwide for the high quality of its local pistachio nut. Among the highlights of the island, are the stunning beaches of Marathon, Agia Marina, and Perdika which is known for its seafood taverns.

There were multiple options, I really liked jumping in the Aegean Sea. My fiancee liked the island of Aegina the most.

Swimming off the boat before lunch was awesome! And sampling all the pistachio products on the island was so fun!

Expect a long trip to the first destination and little shade while on the boat. Other than that, the food was good and staff great! We enjoyed the short walks on each island to have a drink and swim. **DON’T FORGET TO BRING YOUR OWN TOWEL!

Great staff, not so great boat. Very dated and cramped. Not much shade areas. Lunch was great as well as the endless soft drinks beer & wine. Besides the engine dying a few times on our way back in we managed to limp into the harbor.

Our family (ages 9-76) all loved this day! We agree it has been the best part of our trip to Greece. The food was delicious and plentiful, Susanna our host, was so helpful and kept us well-informed. We loved swimming in the Saronic Gulf and playing in the water on the beaches. This trip was worth every penny!

This cruise was a real change from the ancient sights of Athens. The sea is a beautiful blue and swimming was a refreshing contrast to the heat of the city. A worthwhile trip

A day of island hopping was an unforgettable experience! The tour took us to some of the most beautiful islands I have ever seen, each with its own unique charm and beauty. The boat ride was comfortable, and the guide was both knowledgeable and friendly, which made the whole experience even better.

The highlight for me was the snorkeling. Diving into the crystal-clear waters was absolutely magical. We even saw some dolphins in the distance!

Island hopping is definitely something I would recommend to anyone looking for a little break from the hectic city life. It was a day filled with memorable moments. I’m already looking forward to doing it again the next time I visit Athens!

An amazing day full of memories to last a lifetime! Susanna was incredible, the crew so accommodating, the boat was spotless, the views just spectacular. We loved Agistri and Aegina, and lunch with a swim was so fun!

Some things to consider: if you are not taking advantage of the transfer, you should plan 30 minutes of additional time to get there; traffic at that time of day is bad in Athens. The marina is large, so use the google pin they send you for location, and give yourself 10 minutes to walk to the boat once you get to the marina.

I almost didn't book this due to some meh reviews and I am so glad I went ahead anyway. I feel like some folks' expectations were not realistic and/or their experience was tainted by the other passengers. The cruise is beholden to weather conditions clearly out of their control (due to safety reasons), so do check the weather before you book.

If you want time on the islands to do extended exploration, I would recommend a ferry, because this cruise is not that, nor do they advertise as such. There is time to enjoy the port, take a swim, have a bite, and Susanna made many recommendations and was even willing to take groups to see highlights.

Communication prior to boarding was easy and responsive.

Highly recommend this experience!
