Full description
The private round-trip tour starts with a pick-up in an air-conditioned minivan from your hotel in Athens to Lagonissi, where you'll board the rib boat. While your captain sails the boat, passing fast the stunning coast line of Attica, sit back and relax or simply soak up the sun. You will head to Arsida and Pothitos, Fleves or Patroklos - small uninhabited islands with remote sandy beaches, where you can swim, snorkel or just relax. At Arsida island you will have the chance to snorkel and swim at its cave. You will see the magnificent sea world of Athens, one of the safest seas in the world without dangerous marine life and strong currents. The crew holds a professional underwater camera and, if you wish you can have your memories recorded and given to you at the end of the tour, free of charge. A scuba dive or a "discover scuba" program can be also arranged if you wish, at an extra cost. Complimentary snacks and fresh fruit are offered on-board. After enjoying the sun and the sea, you'll board the rib and head to Sounio and the Poseidon temple. There you will explore the ruins and admire the stunning views. Sounio is located on the southernmost tip of Attica, the end point of the Athenian Riviera, at a 69km distance from Athens. It is noted as the site of ruins of the ancient temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea. The ruins bear the deeply engraved name of English romantic poet Lord Byron. After the visit to the temple, you will head back to your hotel in the mini van.

The private cruise was an amazing experience. In the e-mail exchange before the event George was very helpful and gave me great tips and suggestions. On the day of the cruise, everything ran perfectly. The cruise was well-structured and engaging. George and his skipper took us to different interesting places, were we could swim and snorkel. Throughout the event, the crew was highly customer-oriented. They always made it clear that us having a great experience was their highest priority because they always asked our input for what we want and were available to answer questions and provide assistance. George and his skipper were very professional, easygoing and likable. If you want to take a private cruise that is highly customized to your wishes and liking I would highly recommend the provider "Athens by boat".

Picked up from our Airbnb. Unfortunately it was cloudy and rained a bit, with waves. Water was cold (told it was 21degC). Children (13 and 18) enjoyed going fast in the boat. They were good at trying to move to sheltered areas. They had wetsuits ready for us. They had pastries and fruit and water for us. Did less snorkelling because of the weather, but still a good experience as kids had never swum off the side of a boat before. They had no complaints. Good way of seeing the temple as well as having a physical activity, but they didn’t act as a guide, they gave us the tickets and we went in without them. Overall a positive experience. Would have been amazing if warmer.

We were a group of 9 and this private tour was the best we did in Greece!!! Both brothers were very helpful and told us Greece history during our trip. We’ve taken other boat trips with snorkeling in other places but this one was special bcse they taught us how to do that and were patient with my kids. They took more than the 7 hrs they advertised. At the end they recommended us one restaurant and took us there. He helped us to order... they were LO MAXIMOOOO!!!
