The pick up came on time and was a very comfortable ride to Piraeus Port.
The boat was comfortable with a cushioned area that we could lie down and relax in.
Despite being October, the weather was warm and sunny and so the trip to the 1st Island was very pleasant.
The 1st stop, Angistiri, was a bit quieter and run down than we expected; it was off season so I guess that is why. But disappointed we couldn’t even get into the Church for a look.
We decided to have a swim which to be honest was the best thing it would seem to do here . The water was crystal blue and clear and pleasantly warm enough in October !
We boarded again after an hour or so for a short trip to the next stop. This is a swimming stop where you can jump off the boat into the gorgeous water again.
A quick swim for 1/2 hour before lunch was served. We really enjoyed the lunch, eating out on deck and thought the food quality was good and a good variety.
The final stop to Aegina was a good end to the day and I would say is the stop of most interest.
Definitely worth exploring the alleys as there are some lovely cafes and shops with a lot of character. I would say about half the shops were open and thankfully there are plenty of ice cream shops and pistachio vendors serving . The pistachio ice- cream we had was amazing ! We did of course come home with some obligatory pistachios , pesto and Ouzo!
Boarded the boat again at 16.10 for our return sail back to Pireaus.
All in all it was a pleasant and relaxing day. The first island stop was a little disappointing I guess and I think it is slightly misleading as there are really only 2 stops. Aegina and the beautiful crystal blue seas around the islands did make up for it however.
Overall we would recommend it,especially if you have a few days to spend in Athens as we did. The transfer was definitely worth adding.
The trip may benefit from a bit more talk and explanation as most of the tour leads talk was instructional but all the staff were pleasant and attentive.
