Discover Aegina, Poros, and Hydra on a One Day Cruise from Athens

Description

Join us on a delightful one day cruise from Athens and discover the beautiful islands of Aegina, Poros, and Hydra. Enjoy a day full of fun, relaxation, and entertainment as you explore these three magnificent islands.

As soon as you board the ship, our friendly officers and hostesses will welcome you and invite you to the main lounge or one of the spacious open decks, where you can enjoy the stunning views as the ship sets sail. Our multilingual guides will meet you in one of the lounges and provide you with all the necessary information about the cruise program and tips about the islands.

While you cruise towards your first stop, you will be treated to a traditional Greek folklore show with singers and dancers in costume. Your first stop is the beautiful Hydra Island, famous for its picturesque stone-paved streets and Bougainvillea flowers. Stroll around the town and see the stunning views that inspired artists such as Picasso and Chagall.

After departing Hydra, enjoy a delicious lunch buffet on board as you cruise towards your next stop, Poros Island. Separated from the Peloponnese by a narrow strait, Poros offers enchanting views of yachts, fishing boats, and the Clock Tower. You will have free time to explore the island and its small picturesque streets.

Your final stop is Aegina Island, the former capital of Greece after its independence and famous for its pistachio production. It is the largest of the three islands on the cruise, and there are many interesting sites to discover. We offer two optional tours:

1. Guided Bus Tour around Aegina Island: Visit the Temple of Aphea, one of the best-preserved temples in Greece and one of the three temples forming the famous “Sacred Triangle” of Greek antiquity. On top of a wooded hill, it offers the most magnificent view of the island and the Saronic Gulf. You will also visit the Saint Nektarios Church, where you can admire its beautiful Byzantine architecture.
2. Panoramic Bus Tour: Drive across the island, admiring nature, the medieval capital of Paleohora, Saint Nektarios Church, the pistachio groves, and more. The tour ends with a stop by the seaside where you can relax and enjoy a glass of Ouzo along with a choice of irresistible Greek “Mezedes” (appetizers).

As the day draws to a close, the ship will set sail back to Athens.
