Detailed itinerary

Sail into Agistri, a lush green gem of the Saronic Gulf surrounded by turquoise waters. Swim in calm bays, unwind on sandy beaches, or rent a bike to explore pine-covered paths and hidden coves. Agistri’s natural beauty and relaxed island atmosphere make it the ideal first stop to refresh and enjoy the essence of the Aegean.

Depending on the weather and sea conditions, your ship anchors at Moni or Metopi. Both untouched islets with dazzling blue waters and pristine surroundings. There’s no shore stop here, so just dive straight from the deck for a refreshing swim, explore marine life with snorkeling gear, or simply float under the warm Greek sun. While anchored, savor a delicious Greek buffet lunch prepared by our onboard chef, paired with chilled wine, beer, and soft drinks, the perfect mid-day indulgence at sea.

Your final destination is Aegina, famous for its pistachios, neoclassical harbor, and lively local culture. Stroll along the waterfront, sample traditional sweets, or take a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride through picturesque streets. Aegina offers the perfect blend of charm, history, and authentic Greek life to end your day at sea.
