Itinerary
Sailing around the Saronic Gulf is always a great idea. The weather is usually ideal for a smooth sailing experience and a lovely day at sea. Distances between the islands are small and time flies when you are at sea! Especially if you are not used to sail, this experience is the best to start loving the boats and the sea. Athens is more beautiful from the water.. Be prepared to be amazed of the exotic scenery and the amazing colour of waters, just a breath outside this big city of Athens.

A huge thank you to Yannis, Denise and the crew onboard the Aiolis Cruise Experience. It was my wife and my wedding anniversary and the crew made us feel like millionaires onboard. We were picked up and dropped back to our hotel by transfer organised by the team, and were offered a drink onboard while the crew prepared the yacht for sail. We sailed out of the harbour and headed along the costline until we reached a shallow area to drop anchor and take a dip in the sea, which was fresh but warmer than we expected for June. Once we got back onboard, we were invited to dine and the food was exceptional and kept on coming. Luckily we ate after the swim - I ate so much I would have sank! Though-out the whole trip, the team were so warm hearted, good fun and attentive. We can’t thank them all enough for making our special day even more special. If you’re looking for an authentic experience, with amazing food, great people and exceptional views of the beautiful Aegean coastline, don’t think twice - Captain Yannis and crew are a must for couples and families alike. This isn’t just another cruise - it is truly a special experience where you’ll make memories that you’ll hold forever.
This experience was amazing! Our captains took this excursion above and behind! My husband and I truly felt like we were on our honeymoon. The food was delicious and the wine was amazing. The views were unmatched.
In the middle of a full-on Mediterranean holiday stretching from Barcelona to Athens, we had one free day to fill while in Athens. Rather than leave the day to chance we found this wonderful experience and booked ahead from Australia. It was end of season so we had the cruise to ourselves - a bonus, but plenty of room on board for more guests in comfort. So relaxing from the moment we boarded the yacht and kicked off our shoes. A good option to take a break from the monuments of Athens and the usual tourist activities to enjoy time out on the water. The cruise allowed us to recharge, ready for the rest of our travels. Our hosts were fantastic. Our chef served up a feast of Greek flavours with local wine selections. We enjoyed some commentary on the area as well as some Greek music to relax with. Grateful for the hotel pickup and drop off. A great day from start to finish. Don't forget to take your swimming gear. THANK YOU AIOLIS and crew
Fabulous afternoon sailing with friends. We were a group of 10 people to celebrate a 50th birthday. Superb service from captain and crew. Exquisite local Greek food cooked by the yachts crew served to us on deck when we stopped in a bay. There was time for swimming, then lunch. Plenty of beer and wine or soft drinks. The crew made us at home and looked after us as we sailed down the coast from Athens.
When we returned to Greece in 2024 we took our own advice from a previous review of this cruise from 2023 and booked again so we could share our experience with other family members. Immediately on arrival with a warm welcome back from Giannis it was a great start for a perfect afternoon/evening. As always the service was impeccable as every effort is made by the crew to ensure the best possible experience while we cruised along on and enjoyed the view, stopped for swimming and viewed the sunset on the return to port. Dinner was a culinary adventure with diverse and well prepared local dishes that catered to everyone's preferences. We highly recommend this cruise and look forward to another with Giannis in the near future!
Gianni and his crew took us on a beautiful half day cruise then cooked the most amazing Greek lunch! Some of the best food we had through our entire trip! And what a great crew, felt like you were sitting at a table in someone's home! So personable! And the scenery was gorgeous!
Such a wonderful, relaxing and delicious tour. Our Hosts were fun to talk with, knowledgable about Athens, great cooks and easy going. We snorkeled and drank wine with the fabulous meal they prepared.
What a beautiful experience we had on the "Greek Gastronomy & Wine Pairing Cruise in Athens"! Our amazing Captain, Chef, and new friend, Giannis ensured every detail was perfection. The boat was stunning, the exquisite cuisine was out of this world (I am an extreme foodie from Atlanta, GA, US), the landscape and water blew our minds, and the sunset was unrivaled. The value of this excursion well exceeds the cost, and is an adventure we will never forget. Everyone should have this experience
Boat not as luxurious as I’d imagined but nice. Host Very Down to Earth and Friendly. Blown away by Five Star Dining Experience on the Water. Note 1 Glass of Wine Included. Others separate charge. Not Exactly a Pairing Experience. Highly Advised.
Trip was fantastic! Food and wine and the company were all amazing! Look forward to going again when we come back!!!!!!!!!!
