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.”

The guide was lovely and informed us of anything special to look out for, very good value for money and only €15 to travel to the Mamma Mia Chapel, absolutely beautiful!”

7.From Skiathos: Sea and Sun Island Day Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 399 reviews · 7 - 8 hours · from $56

Spend 7 to 8 hours aboard the Kalypso, cruising from Skiathos to Lalaria, Kastro, a mainland lunch stop, and Tsougria. Expect an English-speaking guide, music, a bar, shaded seating, and swimming time. Guide Tatiana and host Demetra have earned special praise for their warm service.

“Great cruise - get a lot for the price, 4 stunning and very varied stops, really enjoyable day. Let down slightly by the lack of effort and engagement from the crew...felt like they put in the minimum effort required. For example the girl serving at the bar and using the mic was constantly on her phone and smoking, this obviously could've waited until we stopped somewhere. She seemed a bit disinterested and it was quite unprofessional. Which is a shame, as the cruise and the places we visited were fantastic.”

From Zakynthos: Kefalonia Island Full Day Tour by Bus & Boat

9.Kefalonia Island Full Day Tour by Bus & Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 238 reviews · 10 hours · from $99

Spend a full day crossing from Zakynthos to Kefalonia, then ride through mountain roads to Drogarati Cave, Melissani Lake, Agia Efimia, Myrtos Beach, and Argostoli. An English-speaking guide such as Vera or Alexandra adds context, but expect a long day with limited time at each stop and extra entrance fees.

“This is a tour around Kefalonia. It contains lots of transportation, via ferry, bus and even more bus. It focuses on the sights, skipping swimming and beach-strolling. This must be understood. If you know this, you will have a wonderful time, like I did. I especially wanted to do it like this, as I have spent my other days on the beach and in the sea. No need to do it again here. For me the highlights were the visit to the monastery (I love beautiful churches) and Melissani lake (simply, it is magical), the rest was just bonus (do not miss the Kefalonian meat pie for lunch).

“The boat we booked was rescheduled for the following day due to weather. The next day after paying for transportation to the port we were then informed that the boat was cancelled only after being informed by non-related workers at the port. There was 0 communication from this company. Despite all of this I was still charged for the boat I never went on. Avoid at all costs.”

Panos our captain and Veronika our stewardess were outstanding. they went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time, were fun and very personable. the sailing yacht was wonderful and spacious. We were able to find 2 separate swimming sites with crystal clear water and coves to swim into This is not the cheapest option, but provided excellent value and exceeded our expectations”
