We will start our day in Marina Zeas, by stepping aboard a traditional wooden vessel and embarking on a journey around the Saronic Gulf. As we heave anchors, freshly brewed coffee, cakes, cookies, and juice will be served and you will have breakfast with a view of the sun illuminating the Greek coast which will slowly start to disappear from the horizon.
It won't be long until we reach Agistri, a charming island surrounded by turquoise waters, a perfect spot from swimming and snorkeling. If you don't wish to take advantage of our snorkeling equipment and spend this time in the water, you can always disembark and explore the port of Agistri on foot, or optionally rent a bicycle and discover hidden corners of the idyllic island. Before we depart from Agistri, it is recommended to take a tour of the local markets and pick up a memento or two for your friends back home!
Our next stop is the most exclusive for the day; the small island of Moni. A UNESCO-protected slice of heaven, Moni is an uninhabited island that serves as a refuge for wildlife. Since we cannot disembark there, we will dock off the coast and swim in crystal clear waters, snorkel among the vibrant marine life and soak in the sun as the boat gently sways us to a never-before experienced state of relaxation. After you've dried off we will enjoy a delicious Mediterranean buffet comprising of traditional flavors and created by fresh, local ingredients.
From the isolation of Moni we will move on to our most popular destination of the three; Aegina. Arguably the star of the Saronic Gulf, Aegina is now famous throughout Greece for its production of pistachios, but it has also held a prominent status in antiquity. A tour of the markets near the port will afford you the opportunity to purchase more types products made of pistachio that you even knew existed! Should you wish to explore the history of Aegina, both the Temple of Apollo and the Archaeological Museum can be found near the port, while if you are all about swimming, the sandy beach of Avra is at a walking distance from where we dock and great place for a quick dip!
After a fulfilling day in the Saronic, we will start heading back to Marina Zeas. Drink in hand, smell the salt in the air while enjoy the golden sun paint a beautiful scenery of the Athenian Riviera. What is more Greek than that?
