10/10 fantastic trip
We had a great time seeing the beautiful islands. The guides and crew were fantastic and the food was excellent. It was a good retreat from the busy city, but it didn’t feel like we were gone too long. We had a blast.

Book the trip, you will not regret it!
This trip was an amazing experience overall. There was a great variety of islands, Agistri for a more peaceful time, Aegina with a busier lifestyle and Metopi/Moni, where we got to jump off the boat into the crystal blue waters. The boat itself was spacious and there are options with shade or sun depending on preference, very comfortable and not squished together! The most important thing of all was the crew - Angelo, Fei, Olina, Christos, James and Giannis were all super friendly, responsive and professional, they were always there to help and were equipped for any scenario. They had great vibes and it was clear that they really wanted everyone to have the best time and they did everything they could to accommodate us, even providing reccomendations for cafes/eateries on the islands. The chef made delicious buffet style food and there were unlimited drinks, and everyone was able to bond together and have a great time. If you want to experience the Greek hospitality, food and lifestyle without the really touristy feel and panic, this is the ultimate activity for you, I would 100% do this again in the future, definetly worth the time and money! :)

Adults returning to their youth! Water and the sea is so inviting!
Sensational, friendly and welcoming staff! 5 star hospitality. Food was plentiful. Buffet had many options. Delicious! Also had plenty of snacks and various drinks. The boat looked like a pirate ship. Loved visiting the islands. Gorgeous! And the option to jump and swim off the boat was really fun! Adults returning to their youth as they did their plunges. :) Overall, an unforgettable, enjoyable and relaxing experience! Highly recommend! -Thank you from Susan and Troy

You will be Impressed
What a perfect way to wrap up an unforgettable 2½-week vacation! We saved this island hopping adventure for our last full day, and it absolutely did not disappoint — in fact, it may have been the highlight of the entire trip. From the moment we boarded, the staff set the tone with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for every guest. They were attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about every stop, and made us feel like we were in the best possible hands the entire time. The boat itself was safe, spacious, and comfortable — exactly what you want when you’re spending a full day on the water. We never once felt crowded or concerned. And the food? Hands down the best we had on any excursion throughout our entire Mediterranean journey. Fresh, flavorful, and generously served — we were thoroughly impressed. But the real star was the water itself. Crystal clear, stunning shades of blue and green — everything you dream about when you think of the Greek islands. Absolutely breathtaking. If you’re visiting and are on the fence about booking this, stop hesitating. We only wish we had done it earlier in the trip so we could have come back again. Highest possible recommendation

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Athens: Full-Day Island Hopping Cruise with Lunch and Swimming: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens: Full-Day Island Hopping Cruise with Lunch and Swimming cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Athens: Full-Day Island Hopping Cruise with Lunch and Swimming take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Athens: Full-Day Island Hopping Cruise with Lunch and Swimming worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Athens: Full-Day Island Hopping Cruise with Lunch and Swimming?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Athens: Full-Day Island Hopping Cruise with Lunch and Swimming suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Athens: Full-Day Island Hopping Cruise with Lunch and Swimming?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Athens: Full-Day Island Hopping Cruise with Lunch and Swimming start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
