01 · Island time
Little islands. Different moods.
Two island visits, with a swimming stop chosen for the conditions.
Use your free time ashore your way: stroll along the waterfront, pause at a café or explore the local streets. Agistri and Aegina are independent shore visits, with return-to-boat arrangements given by the crew.
Agistri’s Skala waterfront
Skala’s waterfront on Agistri. The beach, village buildings and blue-domed church give a feel for the island’s quieter pace. Plan your own time ashore around the crew’s return arrangements.
Aegina’s waterfront
Fishing boats and waterfront buildings in Aegina town. Enjoy the harbour atmosphere, explore nearby streets or look for the pistachios for which the island is known. Purchases ashore are separate.
Blue water, a slower moment
A Saronic swimming setting. The crew chooses the stop for the day’s conditions. The current route includes a swim at Aponisos, Moni or Metopi, rather than a third island landing.
