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.

We truly enjoyed the cruise. The crew and staff were professional, skilled and incredibly pleasant. The cruise was terrific. Of note, the swimming off the boat was truly phenomenal. Overall, a magnificent experience! For those planning on swimming at the beach, you may wish to consider bringing water shoes as the beach is rather rocky.

As I was on a business trip in Athens, I took the opportunity to do this 1 day cruise and visit some island. This experience was wonderful. The crew members (especially our hostess) were very nice and paying a close attention to us. It was the last cruise of the season (as the sunset was early) but we manage to do all the activities and to bath in a quite warm sea.

The crew made it a great experience and kept us safe. Was my first time in a boat that size. Happy they didn’t bring us out on the choppy waters the day before.

We had a great day!

Pros: Our crew was amazing- friendly and attentive. Food and drink was plentiful, always available and delicious. We enjoyed both of the island stops as well as the swimming. Beautiful islands and way more to do in the 1.5 hours given.

Cons: there are not enough good seats for everyone. Some people rushed on the boat and had lounge chairs in the sun, while others were sort of stuck on benches in the back. Our return trip was very choppy, obviously not the fault of the crew, but keep it in mind if you get seasick.

Another tip: bring a jacket! Even in late May, it was quite chilly on the open water.

This Tour absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we got on the ship, till the end, we've had an wonderful experience. During the transfers between our locations, we relaxed on board, and had, also thanks to the amazing crew which gave their best to ensure that we had an awesome experience, an amazing day. Every location was beautifull, and the highlight was one where you could directly jump of the ship into the ocean, in crystal blue water. During the trip, we got served with breakfast, dinner and even dessert, which all tasted amazing, and we're served by a really helpful and friendly crew.
