★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,346 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $205Top rated

Spend about five hours sailing from Alimos Marina along the Athens Riviera in a group of up to 10. Swim twice, use provided goggles and towels, and eat a Greek BBQ with salad, vegetables, shrimp saganaki, and more. Choose lunch or sunset dinner, with hotel pickup and return included.

“From start to finish, this catamaran experience in Athens was nothing short of magical. Captain Rhea and Raga were by far the best hosts I have ever encountered — so welcoming, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do.

3.Hydra, Poros and Egina Day Cruise from Athens with Optional VIP Upgrade

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,310 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $168

Spend a full day at sea visiting Poros, Hydra, and Aegina from Athens. You get free time ashore, a Greek lunch, onboard music and dancing, and an optional Temple of Aphaia tour. VIP adds hotel transfer, private check-in, lounge seating, drinks, Wi-Fi, and a separate buffet area.

“Be wary. If winds are high you are likely not to get to Hydra. We weren't told we weren't going to Hydra until after departure. Our time in very touristy Egina (in very hot conditions) was extended from 2 hours to 3.5 hours, with no offer of a partial refund. The ship was larger than expected, with hundreds of people on board. A very expensive mistake for us!”
