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. On the way back to Athens, enjoy extra drinks from the bar and enjoy entertainment and dancing presented live by a group of Greek artists and dancers.

End the cruise in the evening. If you book the option with hotel transfer, be transferred back to your hotel area in downtown Athens.

  • Full-day cruise to Hydra, Poros, and Aegina
  • Free time on the islands to explore or swim
  • Buffet-style lunch of Greek/Mediterranean cuisine
  • Live music and entertainment

Overall, very nice. The boat is well-appointed and snackbar/drinks service very good and attentive. The tours were well guided and a bit of free time at each port. Because we had so much distance to cover, the tours/free time were short, though. Lunch was self-serve buffet with meat and vegetarian choices. I was disappointed in two things, however. First, all the information I received for pickup was 6AM. Got to the location well before, and later found out for my location was 7:20AM! Was told an email was sent, but I never got it, even checked spam. Perhaps an oversight as I was the only pickup there. Second was that the swimming tour was not yet available (May 5) and besides the weather was not good. I didn't see anywhere in the ad about when swimming was in season. overall, though, a nice trip.

It was a great trip. Be aware that you pay separately for walking excursions and bus trip in different islands. But it’s worth every penny. The guides (especially the hydra walking tour guide) was very nice and entertaining overall. The cruise ship is well maintained with reasonably clean toilets. The highlight was the dance show while coming back to Athens. Food was not great, so do not have very high hopes there .

We spent a lot of time on the ship and too little on the islands. However, it can't be done in any other way (maybe with speedboats and/or helicopters). But then you would not look to this experience :D Excellent scenery. Very good service on board. Food was Ok-ish, and prices for the extra OK-ish as well (compared to Athens city center prices). Could not enjoy the show as it was too crowded :/
