Review of the Athens Hydra, Poros, and Aegina cruise, with lunch, island time, boat details, costs, drawbacks, and practical tips.
“Overall the trip was really good day out. More time in Poros would have been nice but the day ended up being over 12 hours by the time we got back to our accommodation. The on board entertainment was really good and the lunch delicious, however, it was cold by the time we ate. You can have breakfast on board at an extra cost which I wish I’d known beforehand. Our guide Georgina was excellent in Hydra and Catarina in Aegina was equally as good and full of knowledge. I would recommend the trip to anyone.”

Review of Kos’s Barco de Pirata 3-island cruise to Pserimos, Kalymnos, and Plati, with Greek lunch, swimming, snorkeling, and a waterslide.
“Great to experience the islands whilst sailing on a pirate ship! We felt like Captain Jack Sparrow haha! The crew were all really lovely and even when there was some trouble with an English couple at the end they handled it well and kept them separated from the rest. The islands are small and quaint but lovely to see and sit and relax with an ice cream or beer. The highlight is definitely swimming and the water slide at Plati Island as it’s so much fun! I didn’t eat the meat on my lunch as to me it looked pink but I am anal with my food anyway and my…”

Review of Athens’ 10-hour cruise to Agistri, Moni, and Aegina, with swimming, Greek lunch, drinks, pistachios, and practical tips.
“Absolutely enjoyed our day trip from Athens! The itinerary was well-planned and offered a great mix of activities. Agistri: The landscape and beaches were beautiful, but it was a bit quiet as the tourist season had just begun. I imagine it would be more lively later in the season. Moni Islet: This was the highlight of our trip. The waters were perfect for swimming and snorkeling, and being surrounded by protected wildlife was a unique experience. While the boat was anchored, we enjoyed a delicious traditional lunch along with lemonade, light beer, and white wine. Aegina: A charming stop with historical sites and the famous pistachios. A tip for future…”
