Itinerary
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!
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.
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.

Everything was lovely, lovely, lovely. The food, the guide, the stops, the electric bike tour, the island of 1000 ways to use pistachios. Anya the tour guide, the chef and his delicious lunch, the captain, and the crew! We were treated like royalty until I had to be transferred back to my hotel. I was told pick up spot about 400m from the hotel, under a walkway under the busy street. Check met the van. In a text I was told that I would be dropped off at my hotel. At the end of the day, I noticed the family I got on the van with were getting off. I did not recognize the stop but asked. The driver did not respond, the girl sitting behind him tapped him on the shoulder to ask should I get off,no response. So I stayed on the van. A gentleman and his 20 something daughter asked me where was I getting off and I said the Grand Hyatt. He told me that we had passed it. He told the driver that I was still on and needed the Grand Hyatt.No response.The father looked at me before exiting and said, "I hope you are going to. E okay" before he got off. The driver pulled away and about 50 yards toward the end of the street and told me, a single female, not from Greece tonget off!. He said, "no more stops"and opened the door and said that I needed to get off. I was terrified but had enough common sense to say, "no." He kept saying get off. I told him that I had no clue where I was, did not speak Greek, and I was scared to.get off. I told him that I was told that they would drop me off at the hotel, furthermore I had asked.earlier if that was my stop and he never responded..He told me that he was calling the office.I reiterated the same story and he said that I never received a text or email saying they wpuld drop me off at the hotel. I have the text. He said I should have gotten off earlier at my stop. Once again I never saw hot dog stand when he put the other family with me earlier. I stressed my anxiety about getting off without a clue where I was by myself. So finally they relented and dropped me off at the hot dog stand about 20 to 30 minutes by car. The person who texted me my confirmation received the text from me and she called me. She was worried about me and that I may be lost. She indicated that they should have never told me to get out and that she would call the van service to discuss..she was understanding and caring, she understood hiw frightening it could be to be dropped off in a city that you do not know..i could only tell her the Landmark of a big fountain in a round about. I appreciate her concern and her worry that I needed to get back to the hotel safely. I believe there may have been a language barrier and as I was asking he did not understand, but that is no excuse for attempting to put a solo female traveler out of the van in an unknown location and to be told to "get out" was devastating.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cruise, the food, the islands, and the care provided by our guide, chef, captain, and crew. Knowing that you felt treated like royalty throughout the day means a lot to us. At the same time, we are very sorry that the drop-off experience caused you stress and confusion. We sincerely apologize for the confusion caused and for the anxiety this situation created. Our transfer service operated as planned and all scheduled drop-offs were completed. However, we completely understand that misunderstandings can occur, especially as some of our drop-off points are located on the opposite side of the road from where guests may expect them to be. We appreciate that, when you are in an unfamiliar city, this can be unsettling. We would also like to sincerely apologize for the driver's attitude and the way the situation was handled. We agree that no guest should feel distressed during their transfer, and we are sorry that this was your experience. We believe that the language barrier unfortunately created tension and made communication more difficult for both sides. This is also the reason why the driver returned to the same drop-off point as your morning pick-up location, as he was trying to avoid causing any further confusion regarding your destination. We are grateful that you reached out to our office during the incident and that our team was able to assist you. Your safety and comfort are always our highest priorities, and we take feedback such as yours very seriously. We will use it as an opportunity to further improve our communication procedures with both our guests and our transfer partners. Thank you once again for your kind words about the cruise itself and for bringing this matter to our attention. We hope that despite this unfortunate misunderstanding, the wonderful memories of your day exploring the Greek islands will remain with you. Warm regards,
Loved the experience. The boat, the islands and my favorite was swimming in the middle of the ocean (crystal clear blue waters). My only comment is that getting in and out of the boat is a tiny bit tricky if you have mobility issues since the bridge is a bit thin and the railing is only made of cord. But the crew was very kind and helped us get in/out of the boat every time. Lovely crew, amazing experience. 10/10 recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you loved the experience, especially the crystal-clear waters and our crew. We also appreciate your helpful feedback regarding boarding and are glad our team could assist. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon!
