Hydra, Poros and Aegina Full-Day Cruise
Description
Experience the allure of three exquisite Greek islands during a full-day cruise to Hydra, Poros, and Aegina, offering a serene escape from the vibrant city of Athens.
Day Trip to the Greek Islands
Our journey begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Athens at the designated time. We will proceed to the Marina Delta Killithea, the departure point for our cruise heading to Poros.
As we set sail, enjoy a 2-hour boat ride surrounded by the refreshing Mediterranean breeze. Poros, the smallest of the three islands, awaits you. You’ll have 50 minutes to explore at your own pace—be sure to visit Trinzia, the historical Russian shipyard, and stroll through the scenic Lemonodassos, a grove filled with lemon and orange trees.
Reboard the vessel and prepare for an hour-long journey to Hydra, famously known as a refuge for Saronic pirates. Upon docking at Hydra’s charming port, you have an hour and 45 minutes to wander through its narrow lanes, admire the elegant mansions, and unwind at one of the delightful cafés. This is also a perfect time to enjoy the beautiful beach, soaking up the sun or taking a refreshing dip in the clear blue waters.
After enjoying lunch on board, relax on the deck as we make our way to Aegina, a favored summer retreat for many Athenians. Once on Aegina, you can use your 2 hours of free time to visit the Temple of Aphaia and explore the city at your leisure.
As we return to Athens, be entertained by a traditional Greek music and dance performance.
After our arrival at Piraeus Port, a bus will take you back to your hotel, concluding an approximately 11-hour experience.
