Unique sailing experience to Aegina-Metopi and Skala

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.

Mike_W, Jun 2026

Excellent Cruise and Dinner

We had a wonderful time on the Catamonran dinner cruise. The crew was amazing. The boat was first class. The weather was perfect. Our group loved that we were able to swim in the Agean Sea. Dinner was amazing. Who knew the crew could cook a delicious meal and safely navigate us during the five hour cruise. The views were incredible. We enjoyed the event. We would love to come back and cruise again.

Great day at sea!

A fun experience! Lunch was excellent and jumping off the boat into the cool water was amazing. Staff interacted and checked on us throughout the day. Coffee cake was good, but not enough to cover a hungry teenage boy. We grab a few snacks at first stop to help. Definitely a fun experience and would do again if we come back!

You will be Impressed

What a perfect way to wrap up an unforgettable 2½-week vacation! We saved this island hopping adventure for our last full day, and it absolutely did not disappoint — in fact, it may have been the highlight of the entire trip. From the moment we boarded, the staff set the tone with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for every guest. They were attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about every stop, and made us feel like we were in the best possible hands the entire time. The boat itself was safe, spacious, and comfortable — exactly what you want when you’re spending a full day on the water. We never once felt crowded or concerned. And the food? Hands down the best we had on any excursion throughout our entire Mediterranean journey. Fresh, flavorful, and generously served — we were thoroughly impressed. But the real star was the water itself. Crystal clear, stunning shades of blue and green — everything you dream about when you think of the Greek islands. Absolutely breathtaking. If you’re visiting and are on the fence about booking this, stop hesitating. We only wish we had done it earlier in the trip so we could have come back again. Highest possible recommendation

Jennifer_Z, May 2026

Perfect day

Amazing. At one point they anchored the boat and got to swim and snorkel in the Sardonic Gulf. Agestrika is a small island village that has a trail up the hill. Aegina is a bigger port town with many cafes as well as a beach to the left. One: suggestion bring covering to avoid sunburn and also pants or sweats for the wind which chills.

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!

Absolutely PHENOMENAL Experience!!

Absolutely PHENOMENAL!! We had a huge issue with out Uber dropping us over a mile away with no idea where we were supposed to be. We were a half-hour late by the time we found the offices and fully expected that they had sailed. They WAITED for us!!! Beyond that, the crew were PHENOMENAL! And the food was freshly prepared right on board and absolutely delicious!! We cannot overstate how absolutely fantastic the captain and first mate were on this adventure. They truly went WELL over and above.

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!

From Athens: Aegina Island guided tour in a day

mary_p, Sept 2025

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.
