4 Athens Island Hopping Tours Worth Boarding

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

Spend about 10 hours aboard the Calypso, a motorized wooden sailing ship with a five-person crew, visiting Agistri and Aegina plus a swimming stop at Moni or Metopi. Sam, Mo, and Elizabeth help with island tips, while lunch, drinks, snorkeling gear, and Wi-Fi are included.

“Crew was very nice; ship was old and tired with sun mats that you had to crawl across lots of people to get in and out of. Had to keep removing shoes to go on/ off these. Back of the boat was the smoking section (on a boat? But entire crew smoked) so couldn’t go there. Bathroom ok. It was the end of the season so through no fault of the crew, the islands were completely dead and not worth going to; middle island is uninhabited and they just anchored off it for a swim. Food was very good for lunch and wine was OK. Mediocre experience overall.”

4.Full-Day Island Hopping Cruise with Lunch & Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 185 reviews · 10 hours · from $123Best value

Spend about 10 hours aboard a traditional wooden boat from Athens, with pickup, coffee, lunch, drinks, swimming stops, and shore time on Agistri and Aegina. Swim near Moni, meet the crew, and explore pistachio country, temples, and small island villages at an easy pace.

“It was absolutely amazing!! We loved how the crew were so kind and accommodating! They were able to do a gluten free lunch for me! Just make sure you let them know ahead of time! I felt like we had plenty of time at each stop and I loved that they stopped in a spot just to let us jump off the boat! They had a nice restroom abord and plenty of beverages. 10/10 I would tell anyone to do this instead of just a ferry. It was worth every penny!”
