Excellent trip to Agistri and Aegina
kajan952, October 2026
Excellent trip to Agistri and Aegina! The captain was friendly, funny, and very helpful, while the chef served delicious food throughout the day, including breakfast, lunch, coffee, and fresh fruit. The crew was organised and always available to answer questions.
We especially enjoyed renting bikes on Agistri and spending some time at the beach. The weather was beautiful, and although it was a little windy on the open sea, blankets were provided. Although many people were expected, there were only around 30 passengers on board, which made the trip even more comfortable. Overall, a great experience and well-organised excursion.

-A pleasant afternoon on a lovely rustic boat. Staff could not have been more accommodating!! Communication of all the expectations very clear.
- Food is fantastic. Something for everyone.
-Only issue is choice of Music during 10 hour cruise. It would be great if the staff mixed up the music choices for ALL ages.
- Little shade on boat.

Beautiful boat tour with a delicious meal
240tiffanyb, October 2026
We went on this tour in early October and it was a beautiful experience! The boat was very nice, visited 3 beautiful islands and the food cooked for us by the chef was fantastic. We have food allergies and they were very aware and made sure we were able to eat safely. All in all, a beautiful day and we are glad we took one of days off our short trip in Athens to do this excursion.
