Private Cruise in Athens with Snorkeling and Swimming

Summary

Choose a morning or afternoon cruise on booking, and begin with pickup from your Athens hotel, Athens cruise port, or airport. Bring sun cream and hats, plus bathing suits and towels if you’re planning to swim. Settle into your private, air-conditioned minivan and leave the city bustle behind for Lagonissi. This picturesque seaside area lies southeast of Athens on the shores of the Saronic Gulf. Here, board your private RIB, and admire the views as you cruise to several pretty islands, such as Arsida, Pothitos, and Fleves, all set like jewels in the seas. These rocky, uninhabited islets are lined with beaches and caves, and washed by clear waters that harbor rich marine life, reefs, and even shipwrecks. Depending on weather conditions, your skipper will decide on your island-hopping route, leaving you free to relax and drink in the scenery and sunshine. Spend ample time hopping between islands; sunbathing and relaxing aboard your spacious boat, and stopping for optional snorkels and swims in the bays, inlets or, if you're feeling adventurous, a sea cavern. Make use of the provided snorkeling equipment to explore the underwater sights. If you wish, take up the offer of your skipper’s underwater camera to capture undersea photos. Your photos and the memories they capture will be given to you as complimentary souvenirs at the end of your trip. In between swimming and snorkeling, refresh your energy with the snacks, fresh fruit, and bottled water provided on board. When it’s time, cruise back to Lagonissi and enjoy a transfer back to your Athens hotel, airport, or cruise port, where your experience concludes.
