Take a day cruise from Athens to the enchanting Greek islands of Hydra, Poros, and Aegina for a serene day on the water. With all transportation, transfers, and a buffet lunch prearranged (which includes a delicious meal and a Greek folklore show on your ship), you can relax and enjoy your leisurely cruise, with free time on each island to explore. After being transported from Athens to the port by motor coach, you will embark for Poros, where you will have free time for shopping and strolling. Step ashore at the lively capital and enjoy about fifty minutes to explore at your leisure. As you approach Hydra, admire the vibrant harbor. You will have approximately 1.5 hours of free time to enjoy the unique beauty of Hydra island, which is shaped like an amphitheater and once provided a safe haven for Saronic Pirates.
Wander through the narrow lanes, enjoy a coffee, or shop for souvenirs in the quaint stores. Additionally, you can explore the island at your own pace with a complimentary self-guided audio tour. From the decks, you will be able to appreciate the distinctive architecture and dramatic scenery of this island, where the old traditional stone houses and mansions silently bear witness to a long and tumultuous history. Upon your arrival in Aegina, a guided excursion to the ancient Temple of Aphaia is available at your own expense, or you may choose to stroll around the main town. Aegina is one of the Saronic islands in the Saronic Gulf, located just 31 miles (50 kilometers) from Athens, and is a popular summer getaway for Athenians. Return to your cruise boat and enjoy a Greek folklore show featuring traditional music and dance as you sail back to the port. After an hour at sea, disembark and conclude your trip with a drop-off in Athens (if this option is selected).
