El crucero estuvo bien, pero al final se estropeó todo. El autobús que nos llevó de vuelta al hotel no tenía aire acondicionado. No lo solucionaron a tiempo y nos llevaron a 50 personas a una temperatura altísima. Parecía una sauna. Llegamos al hotel empapados en sudor y muy cansados. El autobús estropeó el maravilloso día que habíamos pasado. No era lo esperado.

The cruise was good, but in the end everything went wrong. The bus that took us back to the hotel was not air conditioned. They didn't solve it in time and they took 50 of us to a very high temperature. It looked like a sauna. We arrived at the hotel drenched in sweat and very tired. The bus spoiled the wonderful day we had spent. It wasn't what was expected.

Me esperaba algo más de Civitas ( por eso les contraté). Nadie nos explicó nada. Nos dieron una tarjeta al subir al barco y tuvimos que preguntar nosotros para qué servía porque nadie nos informó. El tiempo "orientativo" de visita en cada isla se redujo bastante por los atrasos y la mala gestión de la operativa. Lo poco que vimos fue corriendo. La comida contratada fue un buffet libre bastante pobre. Bebida no incluida.

I expected something more from Civitas (that's why I hired them). Nobody explained anything to us. They gave us a card when we boarded the boat and we had to ask what it was for because no one informed us. The "guideline" visit time on each island was greatly reduced due to delays and poor operational management. The little we saw was running. The contracted food was a rather poor free buffet. Drink not included.

I think the ride is very long for the time to explore the Islands. Maybe it would be better just 2 islands with more time to explore. Also less people because it takes a lot of time for everyone to disembark at each island having less time at each island. Should mention when making reservvation to bring jacket since its cold and windy when at sea. Lunch was good but cold.

Thank you very much for your comment. We will pass it on to the provider so that they can take it into account and improve their service where they can.

Día completo surcando el Mar Egeo lejos del caos ateniense. Como es habitual a fin de abarcar el máximo de puntos de interés posibles, pasamos más tiempo a bordo que en las islas. En cualquier caso, 100% recomendable. El contraste con la capital helénica es total. No dejéis de visitar el Templo de Afaya y la iglesia de San Nekterios en Egina. En el ferry ofrecen excursiones pero los taxis que esperan al lado del puerto ofrecen el trayecto más cómodo y más barato. Translate this opinion into English.

Full day sailing the Aegean Sea away from the Athenian chaos. As usual, in order to cover as many points of interest as possible, we spent more time on board than on the islands. In any case, 100% recommended. The contrast with the Hellenic capital is total. Be sure to visit the Temple of Aphaia and the church of Saint Nekterios in Aegina. The ferry offers excursions but the taxis that wait next to the port offer the most comfortable and cheapest journey. Opinion translated. Show original.

En realidad contraté el paseo en español y fue en inglés exclusivamente, salvo unos breves minutos para vendernos los paseos en perfecto español. Incluso la persona que me recogió en el hotel hablaba inglés. La comida en el barco muy rica y el show griego final excelente. No entendí demasiado en la visita panorámica y por la cual pagué 24 euros. Parece ser que los turistas de habla hispana somos de menor valía.

I actually booked the ride in Spanish and it was exclusively in English, except for a few brief minutes to sell us the rides in perfect Spanish. Even the person who picked me up at the hotel spoke English. The food on the boat was very delicious and the final Greek show was excellent. I didn't understand too much during the panoramic tour, for which I paid 24 euros. It seems that Spanish-speaking tourists are of lesser value.

La gestión fue buena. Te recogen en el hotel a la hora prevista. El viaje por las tres islas merece la pena. El monasterio de aegina de 1999 no merece mucho la pena. Lo demás está muy bien . Aunque es un poco caro para familias . Nosotros fuimos 7 por 155 euros por cabeza igual a 1085 euros . Me parece muchísimo. Las Islas son muy bonitas. Para la excursión por eagina en autobus tuvimos que pagar otros 28 euros por cabeza significa casi otros 200 euros mas. La experiencia muy bonita pero muy ca

The management was good. They pick you up at the hotel at the scheduled time. The trip to the three islands is worth it. The Aegina monastery from 1999 is not worth much. The rest is very good. Although it is a little expensive for families. There were 7 of us for 155 euros per head equal to 1085 euros. It seems like a lot to me. The Islands are very beautiful. For the Eagina excursion by bus we had to pay another 28 euros per head, which means almost another 200 euros more. The experience is very nice but very expensive.

Nos ha encantado la excursión! La recogida en el hotel es muy pronto, pero en el barco hay muchos sofás cómodos donde puedes echarte otra cabezadita. Los pueblos son preciosos (no hace falta coger tour), tienes tiempo suficiente en cada isla para ver lo esencial y descansar. Me habría gustado estar más tiempo en Hydra, ya que es la isla con más encanto. En la descripción pone que llegas sobre las 19.00h al hotel, calcular más tiempo ya que nosotros no llegamos hasta las 21.15h Translate this opinion into English.

We loved the excursion! Hotel pickup is very early, but there are plenty of comfortable sofas on the boat where you can take another nap. The towns are beautiful (no need to take a tour), you have enough time on each island to see the essentials and rest. I would have liked to spend more time on Hydra, since it is the most charming island. In the description it says that you arrive at the hotel around 7:00 p.m., allow more time since we don't arrive until 9:15 p.m. Opinion translated. Show original.

Bonito día entre islas aunque entre las excursiones que ofrecen en el barco la de Hydra es un chasco que ni merece la pena. La comida del barco es batallera pero por lo demás la excursión merece mucho la pena. Sobretodo la excursión en Egina con el guía Roberto. Un lujo Translate this opinion into English.

Nice day between islands although among the excursions offered on the boat, the one to Hydra is a disappointment that is not even worth it. The food on the ship is amazing but otherwise the excursion is well worth it. Especially the excursion in Aegina with the guide Roberto. A luxury Opinion translated. Show original.

no estuvo mal el crucero, más que nada porque es la única manera de dar una vuelta por 3 islas en un día . era cómodo, hizo un buen día. la comida ya es otro asunto. me obligaron a coger la excursión con comida y era buffet muy normalito y que estaba un poco frio Translate this opinion into English.

The cruise was not bad, more than anything because it is the only way to tour 3 islands in one day. It was comfortable, it was a good day. The food is another matter. They forced me to take the excursion with food and it was a very average buffet and it was a little cold Opinion translated. Show original.

El transporte en el barco no incluia la guia y tour en las islas, eso era por separado. Posiblemente crear un mejor paquete con todo incluido. Al final si no se compra nada adicional, en cada isla es una caminata por cuenta de cada quien. Fuimos en invierno y el clima no estaba para meterse al agua

The transportation on the boat did not include the guide and tour of the islands, that was separate. Possibly create a better all-inclusive package. In the end, if you don't buy anything additional, on each island it is a walk on each person's behalf. We went in winter and the weather was not suitable for getting into the water.

Primero de todo, la calificaría de 'buena' actividad (más que normal y menos que muy buena) porque aporta un valor singular, en mi opinión. La información que lees en la web es real (no hay engaños) Tuvimos buena atención de toda la tripulación y la organización muy buena (traslados al hotel incluido). El inconveniente fue visitar las 3 islas en un mismo día. Demasiado largo y no te permite disfrutar del encanto de cada una de ellas. Hubiera estado mejor, 2 (Hidra y Egina) Translate this opinion into English.

First of all, I would describe it as a 'good' activity (more than average and less than very good) because it provides unique value, in my opinion. The information you read on the website is real (no deception). We had good attention from the entire crew and the organization was very good (transfers to the hotel included). The inconvenience was visiting all 3 islands in the same day. Too long and it doesn't allow you to enjoy the charm of each of them. It would have been better, 2 (Hydra and Aegina) Opinion translated.

La actividad recomendable 100%. Te recogen en los hoteles y te llevan al barco. Alli las explicaciones por megafonia las hacen en varios idiomas, incluido español. Si quieres puedes coger mas excursiones en las 3 paradas de Hydra, Poros y Aegina, yo no lo hice y me di una vuelta por ellas ya que son bonitas. La comida del barco correcta y luego hay al final de regreso un espectaculo de bailes tradicionales. Todo perfecto. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity is 100% recommended. They pick you up at the hotels and take you to the boat. There the explanations over the public address system are made in several languages, including Spanish. If you want you can take more excursions at the 3 stops of Hydra, Poros and Aegina, I didn't do it and I took a look at them since they are beautiful. The correct boat food and then at the end there is a traditional dance show on the way back. All perfect. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fue más estresante de lo que esperabamos, con mucha prisa todo y, si no contratabas las excursiones caras que ofrecian, poca cosa podias hacer. Estaria bien recordar, para lxs despitadxs como yo, que a 1a hora hace mucho frio y aire. Estaria bien añadir una recomendación de llevar un cortaviento o similar. La comida bufet dejaba mucho a desear, aunque el pescado y el postre estaban ricos.

It was more stressful than we expected, everything was in a hurry and, if you didn't book the expensive excursions they offered, there was little you could do. It would be good to remember, for the heartless like me, that at 1st hour it is very cold and windy. It would be nice to add a recommendation to bring a windbreaker or similar. The buffet food left a lot to be desired, although the fish and dessert were delicious.

Totalmente recomendable!! Pasamos un día muy divertido,, el bus que te recoge en hotel súper puntual y muy nuevo, el barco me sorprendió por lo bonito que era además de que no se movía apenas (no vi a nadie a mi alrededor mareado). Ningún problema para encontrar sitio para sentarse y sillas cómodas. La comida estaba muy buena, tampoco hace falta que haya 20 platos diferentes para comer bien. Pero lo mejor de todo sin duda la tripulación del barco: amables, eficientes, súper bien organizados!!! Translate this opinion into English.

Totally recommended!! We had a very fun day, the bus that picks you up at the hotel is super punctual and very new, the boat surprised me by how beautiful it was, and it hardly moved (I didn't see anyone around me dizzy). No problem finding a place to sit and comfortable chairs. The food was very good, you don't have to have 20 different dishes to eat well. But best of all, without a doubt, the crew of the boat: friendly, efficient, super well organized!!! Opinion translated. Show original.

Un día completo! El autobús nos recogió a la hora exacta en el punto indicado. Cuando llegamos al barco parecía q había mucha gente, pero había sitio de sobra para todos. La isla de Hydra es muy bonita. Al volver al barco ya nos habían puesto el bufet, y nos acomodaron en una mesa para toda la familia. La comida muy buena (para ser buffer). En Poros nos tomamos un café en el puerto. En Eginq compramos unos ticket para q nos llevaran a una playa lejos del puerto q estaba bastante bien… Translate this opinion into English.

A full day! The bus picked us up at the exact time at the indicated point. When we got to the boat it seemed like there were a lot of people, but there was plenty of room for everyone. The island of Hydra is very beautiful. When we returned to the ship, they had already set the buffet for us, and they seated us at a table for the whole family. The food was very good (to be a buffer). In Poros we have a coffee in the port. In Eginq we bought a ticket to take us to a beach far from the port that was quite good… Opinion translated.

Este mismo crucero lo hice hace varios años y no ha cambiado. Está bien para conocer en un día algunas islas del mar Egeo. No es barato y como dicen la mayoría de las reseñas luego hay muchas opciones no incluidas que debes contratar aparte. Esta vez contratamos al subir el upgrade VIP. Vale casi tanto como el billete del crucero pero nos mereció la pena por la comodidad de viajar en una zona reservada donde puedes estar más tranquilo, con agua, refrescos y la comida incluidos. Las 3 son caras. Translate this opinion into English.

I did this same cruise several years ago and it hasn't changed. It is good to visit some islands in the Aegean Sea in one day. It is not cheap and as most of the reviews say, there are many options not included that you must purchase separately. This time we hire the VIP upgrade. It costs almost as much as the cruise ticket but it was worth it for the convenience of traveling in a reserved area where you can be quieter, with water, soft drinks and food included. All 3 are expensive. Opinion translated. Show original.

Puntos positivos: el crucero está genial y pasas un día muy agradable. La tripulación es encantadora. Las 3 islas son preciosas y merece mucho la pena visitarlas!. Puntos negativos: el barco está masificado. No hay casi sitio para poder sentarse (nota: se tarda 2h en llegar a la primera isla, Hidra). El almuerzo está super mal organizado, buffet mediocre y no hay sitios suficientes tampoco para sentarse en el comedor. Las excursiones que se ofertan a bordo son excesivamente caras para mi gusto.

Positive points: the cruise is great and you spend a very pleasant day. The crew is lovely. The 3 islands are beautiful and well worth visiting! Negative points: the boat is overcrowded. There is almost no place to sit (note: it takes 2 hours to reach the first island, Hydra). Lunch is super poorly organized, mediocre buffet and there are not enough places to sit in the dining room either. The excursions offered on board are excessively expensive for my taste.

La excursión es muy bonita pues las tres islas son preciosas. Sin embargo la excursión no incluye guía, solo traslado, y si la quieres tendrás que pagar excursiones adicionales con el agravante de que si no las contratas, por ejemplo en Egina, no podrás ir a ver el templo, que queda lejos. Los taxistas de la isla cobran por persona así que resulta muy caro. Además, el tiempo para visitar las islas resulta escaso, sobre todo en Poros, donde tuvimos unos 20 minutos. La sensación era de gymkana Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion is very nice because the three islands are beautiful. However, the excursion does not include a guide, only transfer, and if you want it you will have to pay for additional excursions with the aggravating circumstance that if you do not hire them, for example in Aegina, you will not be able to go to see the temple, which is far away. The taxi drivers on the island charge per person so it is very expensive. In addition, the time to visit the islands is scarce, especially in Poros, where we had about 20 minutes. The feeling was gymkhana Opinion translated. Show original.
