4.3 (138 reviews)

Tips from local experts:

  • Arrive 15–20 minutes before the scheduled start to complete check-in and security formalities.
  • Bring passport or ID – port regulations require full name, gender, DOB, nationality and passport/ID number for each passenger.
  • If you requested pickup, expect pick-up windows earlier than marina meeting time — keep phone available for driver confirmation.

Swim Stop & Beach Time — Agistri (Megalochori area)

09:45 – 12:15 • 2h 30m

First extended stop near Agistri for swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing. Time allocated for swimming from the boat and short shore visits near Megalochori where the island’s pine-clad shoreline and beaches are accessible.

Agistri, Greece

Tips from local experts:

  • Keep valuables in a waterproof pouch while swimming; beanbags and sunbeds are available on deck if you stay onboard.
  • Wear reef-safe sunscreen and a swim shirt for sun protection during extended deck time.
  • If you plan to go ashore at Megalochori, a light pair of sandals is useful for short rocky approaches to local beaches.

Swimming & Snorkeling — Metopi islet

12:45 – 13:30 • 45m

Stop at the islet of Metopi for a shorter swim/snorkel session in a calm bay. The stop is intended for open-water swimming from the boat and using onboard inflatable toys and noodles.

4.8 (44 reviews)

Tips from local experts:

  • Follow crew directions for safe entry/exit from the water; life vests and noodles are available for less-confident swimmers.
  • Bring a waterproof camera or secure your phone before jumping in — Metopi waters are clear but rocky in places.
  • If you have motion sensitivity, remain near the main deck while the boat is anchored and ask crew for a shaded spot.

Tips from local experts:

  • If you plan to go ashore, wear comfortable shoes for cobbled streets and identify a clear meeting time with the crew before disembarking.

  • Optional short excursion to Moni island may be offered locally — bring small cash if you wish to join (confirm availability with crew).
