Exploring Polyaigos: The Largest Uninhabited Island in the Mediterranean

The cruise centers around Polyaigos, renowned for its blue, turquoise, and aquamarine waters and unspoiled landscape.

The waters surrounding Polyaigos are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and discovering underwater life.

First Stop: Swimming and Snorkeling at Mirsini

Your first stop is Mirsini, a tranquil bay perfect for swimming in the clear, turquoise waters. This spot combines calmness with picturesque views, making it an excellent place to unwind after the boat departs.

Fishing, Sampling, and Refreshments on Board

Andreas, being a professional fisherman, guides guests through the process, adding an authentic local touch. After fishing, guests can sample traditional Greek pies, freshly served on the boat, complementing the unlimited soft drinks, beers, and water.

This combination of leisure and activity creates a well-rounded experience, allowing guests to enjoy local flavors and engage in a bit of fishing—a rare chance on small-group cruises.

Return Journey to Pollonia
