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

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

Full-day sailing from Athens to Agistri, Moni/Metopi, and Aegina with lunch, drinks, and swimming stops on a wooden boat.

“I love boat rides. The morning started so nice, the visit to Agistri was fun. Some swam, some wandered around. The next stop was not to an island, but actually just anchored in the water. People just jumped off the boat and floated, noone snorkeled because I think it was pointless. My blood sugar had dropped and I didn't try to swim. If you have low blood sugar bring your own snacks! Lunch was around 1:30 pm, and the crew member i had asked for info from was clearly tired of tourist questions. Lunch (FINALLY!) was good. Also, bring your own water bottle. The final stop at Aegina was nice.…”
