Our day trip from Athens to Hydra, Poros, and Aegina was absolutely perfect! From the smooth transportation to the well-planned itinerary, everything was organized seamlessly. The boat was comfortable, and the crew was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great experience throughout the journey. Each island had its own unique charm—Hydra’s car-free streets and stunning views, Poros’ picturesque waterfront, and Aegina’s rich history and famous pistachios. The time allotted at each stop was just right, allowing us to explore without feeling rushed. The included lunch was delicious and well-prepared, offering a nice variety of flavors. It was the perfect way to recharge before continuing our adventure. Overall, this trip was a fantastic way to experience the beauty of the Saronic Islands in one day. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Athens!

Full description

Experience the Greek Islands on a full-day trip from Athens to the scenic islands of Aegina, Poros, and Hydra. Take the trip on a comfortable boat with many amenities and a friendly crew. Depart on the cruise from the old port of Athens in Faliro and go to Hydra where you have some free time to explore the cobblestone alleys and see the unique architecture, and the donkeys that still provide public transportation, and go swimming if you like. Take an optional walking tour of the town to see historic landmarks and traditional houses (at an extra fee). Later the cruise continues to Poros island, full of green pine forests and scented lemon groves, where you have more time to walk in the town and shop or eat at a local taverna. Continue to Aegina island, known for its pistachio groves and beautiful beaches. Take an optional bus tour of the Temple of Aphaia and the Monastery of Agios Nektarios in Aegina (at an extra fee). During the cruise, enjoy a full meal from a buffet full of various Greek and Mediterranean delicacies.
