Description

Join us for a unique cruise in the deep blue waters of Corinthian and the Saronic Gulf. Let's cross the Corinth Canal – Isthmus and travel together through the Ancient and modern history of Greece.
Embark on an unforgettable cruise aboard the "Agios Andreas", a comfortable 17-meter vessel featuring a glass bottom and a capacity for 50 guests. Get ready for a journey that seamlessly blends history, nature, and pure enjoyment!

Your adventure kicks off at the Isthmia port, where you'll experience the truly impressive passage through the famous Corinth Canal. Marvel at this engineering masterpiece that connects the Corinthian and Saronic Gulfs – a vision thousands of years in the making that finally became a reality!

Next, we'll sail into the Saronic Gulf, passing by the ancient port of Kenchreai. Here, at the heart of ancient Corinth, Apostle Paul disembarked and taught Christianity to the Greeks, leaving an indelible mark on religious history.

Our journey continues towards the legendary Baths of Helen of Troy (Loutra Oraias Elenis), an area deeply connected to Menelaus, Paris, and the myths of the Trojan War. Listen to the stories whispered by the waters and feel the magic of the past.

Our final destination is the beautiful Siderona beach. Here, close to the shore, you'll have the opportunity to dive into the crystal-clear waters straight from the boat and enjoy a refreshing swim. Swimming aids and snorkeling equipment are available on board for you to explore the underwater world! And thanks to the "Agios Andreas'" glass bottom, you can admire the rich marine life, flora, and fauna even without getting wet!

After your swim and exploration, we'll enjoy a delicious individual buffet with food and fine wine, relaxing and having fun onboard. As the sun begins to set, we'll slowly make our way back to the Isthmia port, filled with unforgettable memories from this unique cruise.
