What to expect
Early in the morning, one of our coordinators will pick us up from our hotel or nearest point and we will go to the meeting point in the port and from there, we will set sail for the island of Poros, approximately two hours away, during the that the cruise guide will provide us with information about the islands.
30 minutes
In Poros, the smallest of the three islands, we will have an hour of free time to walk. We will be able to visit Trinzia, the Russian shipyard on the island of Poros, where we will learn the history of the cooperation between Greece and the Russian navy during the 18th and 19th centuries. If we prefer, we can walk through Lemonodassos, a dense forest of lemon and orange trees between beautiful windmills and waterfalls. Returning to the ship, we will enjoy lunch (first shift) sitting comfortably enjoying the views of the Mediterranean for approximately one hour, on the way to Hydra.
240 minutes
Hydra
The amphitheater-shaped entrance to the port of Hydra once served as a refuge for Saronic pirates. Located near the island of Spetses, Hydra is well known for its colorful small capital, full of picturesque narrow alleys, charming mansions and red-tiled houses that have quietly witnessed a long and turbulent history. The guide will recommend the best shops and cafes, and then let us explore the place on our own for approximately two hours. When we return on board, the tables will be set for the second lunch shift.
180 minutes
After lunch, we can relax on the deck of the boat and enjoy the warm sea breeze as we sail towards our last stop, the island of Aegina. Upon arrival, we can walk around the city at our leisure. In the island's bustling port, known as Port of Aegina, we can enjoy a glass of ouzo in its famous ouzeries, combining it with some seafood.
45 minutes
Piraeus
The return trip to the port of Piraeus takes about an hour. A traditional Greek show with singers and dancers dressed in local clothing will enliven the trip until docking in Piraeus. The cruise offers activities, photographer and optional onboard purchases to visit certain parts of each island in more depth. Our suggestion is that we spend our time enjoying the island on our own, walking, taking a swim or buying local products! Upon arrival, we will be transferred a short ride back to our hotel, where the excursion will end.
