The 15 Saronic Islands Cruises from Athens That Earn Their Price

1.All Day Cruise -3 Islands to Agistri,Moni, Aegina with lunch and drinks included

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,958 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $180Our pick

Three islands in one day from Athens. Sail the Saronic Gulf, swim and snorkel, enjoy Greek buffet lunch with wine and beer.

“The ship was spacious and comfortable, the crew friendly and attentive. The lunch was all cooked fresh and so delicious. The pacing of the day was good with some time on both Agistri and Aegina. Would have loved to go ashore at Moni as well but enjoyed swimming where we anchored there. If you really want to snorkel I'd recommend bringing your own equipment as they provided mainly just masks (and maybe 3-4 snorkels), no fins/flippers. That said, we had fun just swimming and jumping off the boat into the clear water. All around a spectacular day!”

“This would be a 4 star based on the friendliness of the crew and hosting of the team, including amazing food etc. We were dissapointed overall as we were expecting more sea stops and snorkeling opportunities. We were taken to islands and one was a 2 hour stop. We would have liked more recommendations or directions as we were a little unsure where to go on the island to kill the time. The issue was the transfer. We already had to make our way to a place a taxi ride away from our hotel and there was absolutely no negotiation with the vendor- which was a shame. The journey home…”

The team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, including arranging pickup and drop-off directly from our hotel, which made the whole day stress-free. The food on board was absolutely delicious and really added to the experience. It is important to note that this is a nine hour event, so be sure to bring plenty of sunblock and anything else you might need for a full day in the sun.

Athens day cruise to Hydra, Poros, and Aegina with hotel pickup, onboard dance show, and Greek buffet lunch. 11 hours on the water.

“Unimpressed with the absolute rudeness of this company. Was given no indication that our pickup time was 45 mins before all documentation stated time. We missed the pickup, was not notified until 10 mins later (as we were walking to our pickup and that we were expected to get ourselves from the middle of the Plaka to the port within 15 minutes or forfeit our trip. Rudest people with no customer service and all the blame on use for their miscommunication. Had a refund rejected already but still no evidence they sent us any notification of an earlier pickup time. Will pursue this further.”

“I had a great time on this trip! Surprisingly brilliant value, good veggie food, and friendly team on board. There were lovely places on the boat to lie down and relax in. The boat is also gorgeous and well equipped with plenty of places to wander, chill and sunbathe in. It didn’t feel too crowded or busy on the boat either. The hotel pickup and drop off felt luxurious and easy. We visited two islands and had a nice swim spot and lunch. The guides recommended places to go to explore on each island and the sea was beautiful. I was a solo traveller and felt comfortable and welcome. If…”
