Most Saronic day cruises run three stops and serve lunch on deck. This one runs four, Agkistri, Metopi, Aegina, and Aphaia's Grotto, with a sit-down taverna lunch in Aegina, not a buffet on deck. The Calypso Kos is a traditional wooden gulet. Open deck, crew of four. You board at Flisvos Marina in Paleo Faliro, minutes from central Athens, no Piraeus traffic, and settle in with a filema: a welcome box of Greek products, coffee, and juice. Agkistri is pine-covered and quiet, one of the least-developed islands in the Saronic Gulf. Metopi is uninhabited, no beach, no vendors, you drop into the sea directly from the vessel. In Aegina, lunch is ashore at a local taverna, with time to walk the harbour and find the island's famous pistachios. Aphaia's Grotto is a secluded cove below the ancient Temple of Aphaia that almost no other operator includes. Unlimited drinks throughout, soft drinks, water, coffee, tea, beer, and wine. Boarding 08:00, departure 08:30. Back by 19:15.

What are people saying about Athens

William_C, Feb 2026

Best option for seeing multiple islands in one day

I was skeptical after reading so many reviews that said this type of cruise would turn into a huge sales pitch for excursions and other up-sells, but I did not witness any of that happening. I absolutely hate any type of up-selling, and that would have immediately been a deal breaker for me. Everything about this day cruise turned out to be well-organized, and the VIP experience was truly that. They really take care of you, if you go for the VIP package. The food was truly awful, but then again, I have never been on any type of cruise that had decent food, so I can't really blame this particular company for something that other companies can't do any better. There is not really much to see or do on the islands, but the cruise operator does a good job of getting you there as efficiently and comfortably as possible. The social experience of being on the boat was the best part of the entire day, because you have plenty of people to talk to, as long as you are willing to meet new people. The scenery is beautiful, and the pistachio island had some of the best ice cream in the world, even better than the award-winning gelato shops in Italy. If you want to see the islands, and you only have one day, this seems to be the best option.

Fun relaxing cruise

Fun cruise. Only one shop was open on Agistri due to the season but still fun. Swimming was cool. Lunch was fantastic and the crew was great. Sam took us to a pistachio vendor on Aegina that had really good products and we came back with way too many nummy things. Elizabeth was no nonsense on safety but cracked some pretty great jokes on my husband. Ha! It was a fun little laid back trip. Does take about 2hrs to get out there but very scenic and relaxing!

If I could give it 10 stars, I would!

This was a FABULOUS experience. Luxury van pickup and drop off, beautiful boat, and the best crew ever! We boarded to the smell of incredible Greek cuisine- a dish called briam cooked over 2 hours that was to die for. Kostas was an experienced, informative and friendly captain, and Joanna was a terrific first mate and chef! The dinner was bountiful and incredibly delicious-grilled pork and chicken with Greek spices, calamari, pasta with pesto, briam, Greek salad, tzatziki, bread, and shrimp saganaki- all perfectly prepared. Scenery gorgeous, sailing wonderful-can’t say enough good things about this tour. DO IT!

A must do

We had an awesome day that started with excellent communication prior to the trip.. Breakfast was delicious pastries and they was served shortly after leaving the marina. The host, Jason, was happy, friendly and spoke English very well! The island stops were each about 60 - 90 mins long, which was perfect. Lunch was DELICIOUS, cooked on board, and plentiful. The wine and the beers flowed freely all day long.. all up it was an awesome day and I would definitely recommend and do again!

Must do 3 island trip!

Absolutely incredible! Perfect 1st island to swim at the beach; 2nd uninhabited allowed swimming/sliding/jumping into the ocean; 3rd beach was not impressive however free entrance to visit the ruins, shop, or eat! Then dancing on the boat; food was amazing! Highly recommend!

Great day to visit the Aegina Island

There was some difficulty finding the meeting place in the port. The customer service rep at the Ammons Express office was very helpful and assisted me by sending me a picture of the area to meet. I was successful in finding the tour guide. The tour guide Vivian was smart, organized and interesting. She paced the tour so we had enough time to eat and go to the beach. Nice tour of the island.

Unique Way to Spend an Afternoon & Evening in the Waters Around Athens

Steph and Skipper Yannis were wonderful, friendly hosts and fun to meet! We could tell they enjoyed what they did. We had a lovely cruise with plenty of delicious food and drinks -- beginning with snacks upon boarding to dinner and dessert. Steph even accommodated my vegetarian needs. We enjoyed the opportunities to get in the water twice when anchored far from shore of two beaches. Using their provided masks and fins, we saw some fish. The sunset was beautiful. The ride was smooth, and we felt very safe. The group was small enough (8 total, including us) that we were able to fully enjoy the catamaran experience from bow to stern, and it didn't feel too crowded or rushed, but yet offered a chance for nice conversation (both privately and with the others), while also getting to know a bit about our native Greek hosts and the other visiting guests. This excursion allowed us to see the outskirts of Athens and beautiful areas that we would not have otherwise seen. Both Steph and Yannis offered us some personalized ideas for day trips and a local tavern to go to during the rest of our week's stay in Athens -- and to our pleasure we took advantage of some of their wonderful recommendations. Overall, an excellent way to spend a late afternoon and early evening in the summer in Greece! Highly recommended. Thank you!

Perfection in Yachting for Foodies and Wine Lovers!

What a beautiful experience we had on the "Greek Gastronomy & Wine Pairing Cruise in Athens"! Our amazing Captain, Chef, and new friend, Giannis ensured every detail was perfection. The boat was stunning, the exquisite cuisine was out of this world (I am an extreme foodie from Atlanta, GA, US), the landscape and water blew our minds, and the sunset was unrivaled. The value of this excursion well exceeds the cost, and is an adventure we will never forget. Everyone should have this experience
