About this activity

If you are looking for beach, sun, culture and incredible scenery, or an all-in-one experience, BestCruise has got you covered. BestCruise offers you a lifetime experience of a day cruise to Aegina and Agistri islands on an authentic wooden sailing boat. Walk-in ancient paths at the Aphaia Temple in Aegina, revel in the numerous shades of blue of Agistri beaches, dare to jump off the boat in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and snorkel in crystal-clear waters of Aponisos. BestCruise offers you a well-priced private experience, unlike mass tourism boats that advertise daily cruises with multiple stops resembling normal ferry service. Food served on board is ethically sourced from trusted farms and groceries around Greece. We use the finest quality of olive oil in all our meals and fresh bio ingredients. We are proud for the quality of our services honouring the traditional Greek cuisine and hospitality.

Honestly, the whole...

Honestly, the whole experience was breath taking. We’ve never swam in clearer water. The pistachio’s and olive oil we bought were second to none on the third island.

Brilliant Trip - 100% recommend!

We booked this trip last minute and could not have been happier that we decided to. The whole day was well planned out with plenty of time to enjoy each island. There was plenty of time for swimming, including off the boat which was so much fun! Comfortable places to relax on the boat and enjoy the sunshine. Snacks were provided alongside free drink all day and as a fairly picky eater, I was a little apprehensive about lunch on board but it was honestly the most delicious food I’ve tasted … absolutely recommend the potatoes!!

Great time sailing the Aegean Sea

Such a fun day! The crew was very nice and provided for all our food and beverage needs all day. The swimming off the boat was the highlight of the day.

A relaxing day away from the city

A very smooth booking with prompt reply and confirmation of pick up from our hotel. 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.
