Itinerary
Day 1
Full-day cruise across the Saronic Gulf with multiple swim stops, island visits and on-deck entertainment.
Meeting & Boarding — Marina Delta Kalitheas (Kallithea)
Meet at Marina Delta Kalitheas for check-in and boarding. Crew will confirm passenger details required by port regulations, show safety briefing and point out facilities (showers, restrooms, bars, sunbeds). Boarding is at the marina before departure.
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)
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.
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
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.
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.
Perdika village (Aegina) — Explore & Lunch
Arrive at Perdika, the traditional fishing village of Aegina. Time ashore to stroll the waterfront, have lunch (Mediterranean buffet available onboard or explore local tavernas in Perdika), and optional short guided excursion to Moni islet if offered by the crew.
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.
- The cruise includes a Mediterranean buffet and non-alcoholic drinks; confirm any dietary needs with crew at boarding.
- Optional short excursion to Moni island may be offered locally — bring small cash if you wish to join (confirm availability with crew).
