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.”

Saronic transport company organizationally performed very poorly. huge delays in both directions, terrible noise and smoking in every corner of the ferry. Next time I would choose another company.”

Travel from your Athens hotel to Piraeus, take the ferry to car-free Hydra, then spend about four hours exploring at your own pace. Driver-guide Yiannis may provide island tips, water, snacks, and smooth hotel transfers, but you are on your own once you reach Hydra.

“Yiannis was an excellent guide and made the day trip fun and enjoyable. He was punctual for both pick up and drop off at the hotel, with great communication throughout the day. He his personality made the experience smooth and enjoyable. He even added a special extra stop on the return trip to catch an unforgettable Athens sunset. Hydra itself is absolutely stunning—charming streets, secluded beaches, and a peaceful vibe that made it the perfect ending to my trip. It's truly worth the visit, and I only wish I had more time to soak in Hydra’s beauty.”
