Athens : Day Trip to Agistri and Aigina (MUST DO) 

Sebi, you are the best. No other guide gives practical and useful tips like you

Hi Sebi, it was so lovely to have met you on this trip. We agree, loved this tour. Agristri is beautiful and fantastic for swimming and Aegina was a nice stop for all things Pistachio and shopping.

Excellent video! I was so thorn. You helped me sooo much!!

This is amazing. Thank you so much for these valuable tips. I would really appreciate a video on off the beaten track islands in Greece. Thanks 😊

Thank you very much for joining us. Was a pleasure to have you on board. ❤❤

Thanks to you Sebastian I did this wonderful experience and my husband and I love it. We are still thinking about the nice time we spend in the island and the delicious food we had at the boat.. thank you very much for the recommendation. ❤

This trip was super fun! Great staff on the boat as well! We went Oct 25, 2023

Looks awesome! I reached out to them.

Watching right now from Plaka, Athens 😍

I been on this tour its aweome

This was SO informative! I went to Aegina in 2011 (via hydrofoil) and spent a few days there. I hadn't been to too many Greek islands so I had no idea how lame the beaches were by Greeks' standards lol ... but I really enjoyed my time there. Our hotel was very close to the Temple of Apollo ruins, so I went there and enjoyed it (I especially remember a lovely mosaic floor). I also took a bus and went to the other side of the island where I visited the Temple of Aphaia -- a goddess I'd never heard of. Not having planned ahead, I then went to the nearby village of Agia Marina, bought a bikini and hung out at an admittedly shitty beach haha. Another thing we did was rent bikes near the port and ride them down the hilly coast where we found a nice place to eat and sunbathe, and a lovely vantage point to take some pictures of the gulf (the water is just as beautiful there as it is in Agistri, per my pics). There are plenty of quiet coves to explore too, even if it's not a traditional sandy beach. I realize now that it's not the best place for the quintessential Greek island experience, but it was a great getaway for the three or so days I was there -- exploration, relaxation, and plenty of good food and shopping.

We did this trip in early June 2023. I was very lucky in that having a skipper’s license, the captain allowed me to be at the helm for most of the trip! Will we do it again? Yes, yes, yes!

Hey Sebastian, we are also planning to come and visit Greece by next year May June.

Thanks for the video - we are new subscribers. Your info is so helpful to us as we are planning a trip in the future. We have a quick question - we want to visit a couple Greek islands in November to December this year, where would you recommend is still good for tourists in the quiet season?? Thanks again!!

The highlight of Aegina is the Monastery of Saint Nektarios!

Good job...

Your enunciation is so perfect it makes me think of Ross from Friends. But in a good way! hahah

I went last year with my teenagers to Aegina and then to Moni for a day trip. I didn’t pay more than 12 or 14 euros each for the ferry from Piraeus to Aegina. We did it in a day. I loved Athen and surroundings so much, so we are going there again this summer vacation!

Hi Sebastian , I'd like to know if this tour is available in the first week of December? Thanks! P.S. Thanks for all your amazing videos, you've the best content on Greece 😊

Any day tour recommend go to Corinth canal and Nafplio

Loving all your videos, quick question, do you think this will be available on Easter Sunday?

Great videos, thank you! I have 5 days in the Athens area this early November. That is all my time in Greece and is my first time in Greece. What do you recommend in November for a guided day trip to some islands? I dont plan on swimming in the water. 😂 i just want to see some coastal /island beauty but not get too bored.

❤ Good information

Most important, you forgot to mention the memorial plaque of Samuel Gridley Howe in Port of Aegina

How about Hydra? Can you please make a video of this too

Please make "Italy in explain" 🙏🙏🙏

I was thinking of doing the aegina-poros-hydra trip, so thank you for this haha! just a question, is it possible to book a day before, too? im flying to athens on monday and want to do a boat trip on wednesday. also, where would it be best to book tickets? online or onsite? thank you again!!

Would you recommend staying in Aegina for 2 days? If yes any recommendations? We plan to travel next month

Hi do you reckon the cruise trips to hydros poros and aegina are better? Also do you have to snorkel or can you give it a miss? It is optional righ

Thanks for the review. Do yo think this is worth it in early November when it will be too cold to swim?

Unfortunately I will not be able to go there, as I already did all my planning, but I'm really intrigued by all the pistachio products, since I love pistachio, so I have a question: is it possible to buy them in Athens or in other islands, like Paros, Naxos, Santorini?

Hi Sebastian, we are planning to do this island day trip on August 15th and our research is letting us know that it is a religious holiday with celebrations. Will the restaurants and bars be open on Agistri? What should we expect in Athens that day?

Thanks, I'm going back soon. I stayed in Omonia Square and was treated very fair. I didn't know Athens apparently I was in the bad area and it was better than NY maby will stay in Placa. Do you have Hotels you like with winter price's? Monastaraki maby ? Thanks I'm in LA

Is this deep water where they snorkeling? Curious.

i will stay 3 nights in Aigina and 4 nights in Agistri... what would you raccomand to rent to visit the island? Small car, buggy or scooter?

What is a better tour you suggest to Agristri and also and alternate option than Aigina? Sounds like I want to snorkel in Agristri but not Aigina. We are big snorkeling /divers. If it’s murky waters then I’d rather pass as we don’t care about pistachios lol

Where did you book this tour? Any suggestion? We gonna go to Athens in June

Do you think this tour is suitable for a two year old? Do you recommend this or a sunset catamaran along the athens Riviera ?

Hi! I'm going in less then a week to Athens. Is it worth it to go here in January?

What is cruise line called? All day cruise? I’m going to Greece in September ❤ Thank you

Sebastian, is this trip worth taking in November?

Is it worth doing a day trip to Santorini from Athens by plane?

so where is wors beaches in Greece?

First.

Good night from PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Happy new year 2024. May God bless you.

Is late October still good time to go?

Can I buy the tickets online?

Is there a website for the ferries?

150 Euros per person?! OXI! What a ripoff! Greece is way too expensive now. Malakia!

Where can I book this trip ?

Agistri is really a boring place and the boat trip is not worth it for that price is much. Anyway, from 09:30 to 13:30 we paid 122 euros for 2 adults and two children. I was really disappointed. There were few beaches that can also be found in Athens. Definitely not a recommendation

€311 voor 2 persons. Pretty expensive!

Greece used to be a good value decades ago, but not anymore. It is expensive now.

my paradise island,agistri destroyed by greed and tourism. horrible
