Hydra, Poros and Aegina Full-Day Cruise
Description
Experience the charm of three stunning Greek islands on a full-day cruise to Hydra, Poros, and Aegina, providing a serene escape from the lively atmosphere of Athens.
Day Trip to the Greek Islands
At the designated time, we will collect you from your accommodation in Athens. Following this, we will journey to the Marina Delta Killithea, where our cruise towards Poros will commence.
Feel the refreshing Mediterranean breeze during a 2-hour boat trip to the smallest of the islands. You will have 50 minutes to wander and discover the island's attractions at your leisure. Be sure to explore Trinzia, the historic Russian shipyard, and take a stroll through the fragrant Lemonodassos grove, filled with lemon and orange trees.
After returning to the boat, you'll soak in breathtaking ocean views during the one-hour trip to Hydra, historically a hideout for Saronic pirates. Upon reaching Hydra’s port, you will have 1 hour and 45 minutes to explore its scenic narrow alleys, admire its elegant mansions, and unwind at one of its delightful cafés. You may also take advantage of the lovely beach for sunbathing and a refreshing swim in the inviting turquoise waters.
Once back on board and after enjoying lunch, you can unwind as we make our way to Aegina, a favored retreat for Athenians in the summer. Upon arrival, you can explore the Temple of Aphaia and soak in the peaceful atmosphere of the town during your 2 hours of leisure time.
On our return journey to Athens, anticipate a traditional Greek music and dance performance.
Upon arrival at Piraeus Port, a bus will transport you back to Athens, completing a total of 11 hours spent enjoying this incredible experience.
