Agistri is one of the Saronic Gulf’s islands, ideal for a weekend getaway from Athens.

Visit the most spectacular beaches and taste delicious traditional delicacies. Get lost in Megalochori’s streets with charming houses and taverns. This is what you really expect from Agistri: authenticity, freedom, and tranquillity.
Metopi or Aponisos or Moni, our swimming spot is chosen based on weather conditions in order to enjoy pristine crystal-clear green-blue waters full of underwater sea life. You could not ask for more than our chosen swimming spot which can offer you an ideal situation for both swimming and snorkelling.

Among the highlights of the island, are the stunning beaches of Marathon, Agia Marina, and Perdika which is known for its seafood taverns.

Amazing day filled with activities. Beaches were beautiful and staff were very nice. Lunch and drinks on the boat was also great.
Great, Friendly Staff. The trip was Amazing!
So far, this was the highlight of our trip to Greece. There was plenty of refreshments nonstop on the boat. Our tour guide Faye was great and went out of her way to make sure we had a great time. All of the staff and crew were exceptional. Definitely worth the money.
Absolutely incredible, every island was beautiful. The crew was so nice and knowledgeable. And the food was sooo good!!
Once and a lifetime experience! So much fun, get out of your comfort zone a bit! Food was incredible, and the people on the boat where so friendly!
Fey and Angelo welcomed us very well during this experience. Each of us was sitting in bean bags and lunch was available to us. I recommend it. Small downside: Agistri is not necessarily very pleasant to visit because it is not very touristy and the beaches are full of seaweed.
We had a great day! Not to mention a great lunch in the staff was very accommodating. I would recommend to anybody that has a day to spend all in Athens.
Very relaxing, beautiful time on the water and on the islands. Food was fantastic. Crew was helpful. Not all seating was comfortable for such a long ride.
This Cruise exceeded my expectations. The vessel was beautiful and charming. There’s plenty of comfortable seats for everyone to chill. The staff was very friendly accommodating, and seem to anticipate our needs most notable is Faye Dimitri, and the gentleman who was always in charge of putting the anchor down the sites were beautiful with the chemistry and genuine care from the crew is what documented the entire event. The food was so delicious for the price for this event, I can’t believe the quality and variety of food and drink that we where offered thank you to all members and the captain.
The process of closing the reservation with the bestcruise representative was great. I was contacted immediately on WhatsApp and an explanation of the cruise was provided, questions answered and payment options were provided. Up until the cruise date, precise explanations were given about the meeting place and even transportation was offered, to allow us to arrive on time. At the meeting place, we were received by Faye, who accompanied us throughout the cruise and was attentive, helpful, caring and very friendly. The cruise was very pleasant. The food was nice and also suitable for vegetarians.
