WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Welcome aboard to the first stop of the all-day cruise to Agistri! As you approach the island, you will be immediately struck by the stunning turquoise waters that surround it. The crystal-clear sea is perfect for swimming and snorkeling, so make sure to bring your swimsuit and gear. With plenty of beaches to choose from in a walking distance, you are sure to find one that suits your needs. If you are feeling adventurous, renting a bike to explore the island is a great option. Agkistri is a small island, so it’s easy to get around and see everything just in very little time. While you're here, don't forget to browse the local souvenir shops for unique trinkets and mementos to take home with you. As the hour and a half comes to a close, we'll head back to the boat and continue on to our next destination. But don't worry, there's still plenty more to see and do on this amazing all-day cruise. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey!
2. Moni Island Beach
Prepare for a unique journey at Moni Island, with its captivating landscape. While we don’t disembark here, there’s plenty of adventure awaiting! Dive into the pristine waters by the boat, challenge yourself with a leap off the ship, and explore the underwater wonders as you snorkel amidst a vivid marine ecosystem. If, by chance, Moni isn't accessible due to weather or other factors, "Metopi" is our alternative—a picturesque islet with turquoise waters, sandy beaches, and the its solitary vineyards. After your aquatic adventures, our hospitable boat crew will introduce to our Mediterranean buffet. As you dine, let the panoramic views of the sea and its surrounding beauty captivate your senses. From the gentle sway of the boat to the horizon kissed by the sun, this is an immersive experience into the heart of the Mediterranean's enchantment. This day promises to be a highlight of your travels, a story to tell, and an experience to treasure.
3. Aegina
Our final destination on this all-day cruise is Aegina, also known as the pistachio island. With a long history of pistachio cultivation, you can explore the local market and try traditional delicacies made with this delicious nut. The Archaeological Museum of Aegina is definitely worth a visit for those interested in ancient history. The Apollon Temple is also a must-see attraction on the island, with the stunning Doric columns and beautiful architecture. In addition to the historical attractions, Aegina is famous for its delicious local products. You can visit local stands to try out these tasty treats and even bring some back home as souvenirs. Take a stroll through the charming town before enjoying a refreshing swim on the beach and the crystal-clear waters. As the day draws to a close, you'll board the ship once again and enjoy a leisurely sail back to Athens, savoring the memories of your unforgettable day in the Saronic Islands.

It was an amazing experience. The islands are not sooo impressive but if you like boat trips, this is the one. Small cruise, around 20 people, super nice crew on board, nice food and drinks, etc.

For me, the best thing about the tour was the crew. Everyone was so easy going and talkative. I just wished we could have stayed longer. Really amazing trip.

Just one thing - not the best place for snorkeling, the water is crystal clear but unfortunately there’s not much sea life to explore. Swimming is still amazing but just don’t expect to see a lot under water.

Definitely great value for money, if you wanted to do the same cruise you couldn’t on the same budget. All the bad reviews mention the food, but it was great, plus there’s stop overs if you go hungry. Only downside is it’s a diverse mix of people, we made a couple mates but there was a couple unsavoury characters. Would recommend.

This was not the crews fault. However, I arranged for pickup at our hotel for an added cost and was sent a confirmation email. We were travelling from Canada. I was NOT sent an email informing me of a last day change of plans that I was to go to a new meeting place. I received a phone call 25 minutes past our pickup time asking me where I was, that they were waiting for me and my guest. We had to rush to get an Uber. This cost me a 30 minute taxi lift as well as a shortened day cruise. I was assured we would be returned to our hotel at the end of the day. On our return, once again we were dropped off too far from the hotel to walk, so we had another taxi cost. When I booked this tour I was told I would be picked up at our hotel for an added cost which I accepted. Viator was very unprofessional in handling this tour. There was no red wine to be seen. The sandwiches did not have any butter on the bread. It was like a fast thrown together picnic lunch.

Although the day started with a snafu with the pick up, the way in which the company responded really won me over. They went above and beyond to salvage my day and make sure I got to experience as much of the cruise as possible. Every single person on staff was aware of what happened with the pickup and they personally greeted me at each stage of the rest of the day. I would definitely travel with these guys again. They showed me exceptional customer service and true hospitality.

I have never taken a cruise in such poor condition. We got plucked just as it should be. A dream program and tempting photos but we had none of that. On the agenda is disastrous weather, the company is not canceling the cruise so in the end what is happening? Everyone is sick on the boat, we can't visit any islands as planned, only a stop in a small village where there is nothing on a 10 hour cruise!!! Crossings in the endless storm, wind and cold as hell. The company which refuses to compensate us more than 20% given the ticket prices and the absolutely disastrous conditions we had. This is called simply being pigeonholed. I simply do not recommend this company at all. One hell of a cruise. What was supposed to be the best day of the vacation was in fact the worst and most disappointing
