About this experience

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).

Detailed itinerary

The ship departs from the Trocadero marina in Floisvo where the crew welcomes guests in a friendly atmosphere. Upon boarding you will receive all the necessary information about the ship and the cruise schedule. You will also have answers to the questions that you can freely ask.

The first port we will visit is that of Hydra. One of the most special and romantic islands of the Saronic Gulf. A pearl, known for its picturesqueness. Unique among the Greek islands, in which no vehicles are allowed as the only means of transport on the island are donkeys. Hydra has attracted many poets, musicians, actors and celebrities in the past with its well-preserved architecture, rural trails and deep crystal waters.

As we travel, our traditional dance group will have you dancing to Greek rhythms and a buffet lunch will be served. At the same time, the rich menu, prepared on board with fresh ingredients by our chef, will cover all tastes.

Then we will reach Poros. This beautiful and green island will fascinate you with its vast expanses of pine and lemon trees! One can easily enjoy a relaxing walk in its picturesque alleys. It is often referred to as "the Venice of the Saronic" as the transport between Poros and Galata is by boat, giving the feeling of living "on" the water.

Finally we will reach the last port of our route, Aegina. The largest of the three islands.

The best part of the One Day Cruise Aegina – Poros – Hydra has arrived. The "Greek Feast" with singers and dancers dressed in traditional costumes from all over Greece, will entertain you until the last moment until the port of Piraeus.

This is where the One Day Cruise Aegina – Poros – Hydra ends. We wish you a warm greeting, looking forward to seeing you again on one of our cruises!
