Itinerary
Sail into Agistri, a lush green gem of the Saronic Gulf surrounded by turquoise waters. Swim in calm bays, unwind on sandy beaches, or rent a bike to explore pine-covered paths and hidden coves. Agistri’s natural beauty and relaxed island atmosphere make it the ideal first stop to refresh and enjoy the essence of the Aegean.
Depending on the weather and sea conditions, your ship anchors at Moni or Metopi. Both untouched islets with dazzling blue waters and pristine surroundings. There’s no shore stop here, so just dive straight from the deck for a refreshing swim, explore marine life with snorkeling gear, or simply float under the warm Greek sun. While anchored, savor a delicious Greek buffet lunch prepared by our onboard chef, paired with chilled wine, and soft drinks, the perfect mid-day indulgence at sea.
Your final destination is Aegina, famous for its pistachios, neoclassical harbor, and lively local culture. Stroll along the waterfront, sample traditional sweets, or take a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride through picturesque streets. Aegina offers the perfect blend of charm, history, and authentic Greek life to end your day at sea.

Had a great time. Staff was wonderful. Well worth the money to have a relaxing day. The boat was spotless. Islands were quaint and beautiful.
Nice day tour during a stay in Athens lasting several days. There is with and without hotel pickup in Athens (approx. 08.30 h). First stop 2 hours Agistri with bathing possibility (clear clean water, but stony surface). Second stop about 1 hour before the island of Metopi (jump into the water from the boat / slide on slides). Third party stop Aegina on Aegina: Very nice port city with many restaurants/shops around the port; known for pistachios. Possibility for excursion to the Temple of Aphaia. VIP package (better drinks, better loungers on board, better food) bookable, otherwise soft drinks, coffee and wine included. Depending on the ship DJ with music on board. Approx. 6.30 pm back in Piraeus.
Dear heikodevries, Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the variety of stops and experiences throughout the day, from swimming and slides to exploring beautiful Aegina. It’s great that you highlighted both the standard inclusions and the VIP option, as well as the unique touches like music on board. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable cruise! Best Regards, Margarita Karavasileiadi
Beyond amazing! What an incredible opportunity to visit Agistri, Metopi, and Aegina all in one day. We had time to swim at two of them and still squeeze in some shopping. Petros talked us into the VIP upgrade—and we couldn’t be more grateful. Jordan, our host in the VIP section, delivered truly 5-star service. He spoke near-perfect English and, at our request, shared fascinating insights into local customs, culture, politics, and the islands we visited. Born and raised in the area, his knowledge and hospitality made the entire experience even more meaningful. The Greek food and beverages were fresh, delicious, and plentiful—more than we could possibly consume in a day. Our private lounge was comfortable and exclusive, but even the regular seating areas were clean, spacious, well air-conditioned, and featured large windows for enjoying the beautiful views. Takeaway tips? Bring goggles—you won’t believe how far you can see in the crystal-clear water. And while each island could’ve easily filled a full day, we still left with unforgettable memories. Fantastic value and absolutely phenomenal service. Thanks Jordan, Petros and the crew! Awesome job! See you again in 2027
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for this incredible review! We're thrilled to hear your experience on the Athens Swimming Cruise was nothing short of phenomenal. It’s great to know the VIP upgrade exceeded your expectations and that Jordan’s hospitality and local insights made such a lasting impression. We're also happy you enjoyed the delicious food, the relaxed atmosphere, and the stunning island stops. Thank you for the great tips for future travelers—and most of all, for your kind words about our team. Petros, Jordan, and the entire crew will be delighted to hear your feedback. We can't wait to welcome you back in 2027 for another unforgettable adventure! Best Regards, Margarita Karavasileiadi
This swimming cruise was an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable way to explore the beauty of the sea. Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or with family, this cruise offers something for everyone. The combination of stunning scenery, excellent service, delicious food, and fun entertainment makes it a must-do activity. I can’t wait to go back!
I joint this cruise with my friends when visiting Athens and it’s the best way to experience the beauty of the Greek islands in one day. We had enough time to swim and explore the islands. The crew was very friendly ensuring that all passengers had an enjoyable experience. If you have a day or two in Athens, we highly recommend this activity.
I assumed there would be more guided snorkling spots, but there wasn’t any, just one swimming from the boat and other spots you need to find by yourself
