1.All Day Cruise -3 Islands to Agistri,Moni, Aegina with lunch and drinks included

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,958 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $180Our pick

Leave Athens from Marina Zea for a full day across the Saronic Gulf. Visit Agistri and Aegina, swim near Moni or Metopi, and enjoy a Greek buffet with wine, beer, coffee, and soft drinks. Crew members Sam, Mo, and Elizabeth are often onboard. Expect about five hours of sailing, so this suits relaxed sea days more than intensive sightseeing.

“Fantastic time! Great food and they give you recommendations for activities at each stop. Mo, Sam, and Elizabeth made our time even more enjoyable. I thank them each so much. Five Stars experience!”

“Had an excellent day cruising to and around the Saronic Islands. The boat was well laid out with plenty of space. The only issue was it was raining in the morning and a bit windy. We were lucky to get a seat inside but those outside under a tarpaulin cover got a bit wet and seemed pretty cold. Unfortunately the tour operators can’t control the weather. Luckily the sun came out around the middle of the day which had everyone lazing on the decks. Food and drinks were very tasty and got to have a wonderful swim. They even had a freshwater shower hose to rinse of the salt before…”

Our guide Ana was wonderful and thorough, she let me use her sunscreen and checked in on us multiple times. Lunch left a little more to be desired but overall the experience was absolutely worth it! Our taxi dropped us off at the opposite side of the port and we found someone that contacted the guides whom sent a car over to get us. 10/10 experience!”
