Popular Tour Options

When you reach out, you can choose from several standard routes or request a custom one:

Athenian Riviera: A 5-hour or full-day cruise along the coast toward Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon.

Aegina & Moni Island: A popular day trip involving swimming in turquoise waters and visiting the historic port of Aegina.

Romantic Sunset Cruise: Typically a 3-hour experience focused on the "golden hour" views of the Saronic Gulf.

Multi-Day Charters: They offer extended trips to the Cyclades (like Kea/Tzia) for those wanting a longer escape.


Quick Tips for Booking in Athens

1. Book in Advance: For the summer season (June–September), it is best to secure your date at least 4–6 weeks ahead.

2. Weather Policy: Most reputable operators, including 1852, will offer a reschedule or refund if the Port Authority forbids sailing due to high winds (the Meltemi winds are common in late summer).

3. Inclusions: Confirm what's included in the price. 1852 typically includes snacks, Greek premium wines, snorkeling gear, and towels, but it’s always worth double-checking if you want a full meal or a private chef.

4. Transfers: If you aren't staying in the coastal suburbs (Glyfada/Voula), ask them to arrange a private transfer from your hotel in central Athens to the marina.
