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

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.”

“I loved this experience. Nikolai was a great captain 👍. The blue cave was cool but I didn't see any fish. I enjoyed the swim though and the chance to cool down. I really enjoyed visiting the different islands. The first one Kolcep was my favourite. The beach is Sandy, but if you walk round the island a bit further there are quieter rocky parts you can swim next to. I had lunch on Sipan, which wasn't too expensive. A lot cheaper than Dubrovnik anyway. I am glad I didn't wait until Lapud as it was more luxurious restaurants and pricier there. You got plenty of cold soft drinks to…”
