One day cruise to Greek islands, from Athens
General Description
Take this full-day tour to explore the beauties and hidden treasures of the Saronic Islands, home to important monuments, gorgeous scenery, and towns of awe-inspiring architecture!
Starting off, you will be picked up from your hotel (or a nearby location) and transferred to the port, right before embarking on your all-day island cruise! While on board, you will have the opportunity to relax in the comfortable indoor spaces or explore the spacious open decks while our expert guides inform you of the islands you will be visiting.
Our first destination will be the island of Hydra (approximately a 3-hour trip). Once we reach the island, you will be thrilled by its rocky beauty. You will be free to explore this picturesque place that is free of vehicles! During your stroll, you may spot cute donkeys on the paved promenade!
Moving on, you will return to the boat for a buffet lunch break as the cruise ship starts to sail toward Poros! The smallest amongst the three islands, Poros, is best known for its lemon tree forest and historical clock tower. You will have some free time to explore the island, walk through the narrow alleyways, and check out this traditional island!
Shortly after, you will hop onto the boat again and travel toward Aegina, the first capital of Greece, mainly famous for its pistachio cultivation! Walk your way around the island, enjoy a horse carriage ride, relax at a seaside coffee shop, watch the mesmerizing ruins of the Temple of Apollo in Aegina, or visit the famous Monastery of Agios Nektarios!
As the cruise comes to an end, we will begin our return trip to Athens, arriving in the capital in the late afternoon.
