Day Cruise to the Saronic Islands

Commence your day trip early in the morning with a hotel pick-up in Athens, heading south for a delightful cruise on a 50-meter ship. Luxuriously appointed with elegant lounges and dining areas, indulge in culinary delights at your leisure or relax, enjoying the sea breeze as you voyage to the world's most beautiful islands.

Cruising the historic Saronic Gulf, your first island stop is Hydra, once a safe haven for pirates. Explore its charming capital with narrow alleys, picturesque mansions, and traditional stone houses. Hydra, birthplace of five Greek Prime Ministers and home to artists like P. Tetsis and N. Gkikas, has been featured in films such as "Boy on a Dolphin" and "Phaedra."

Continue to Poros, the smallest and greenest island, with an hour to discover its enchanting beauty. Visit Trinzia, the Russian shipyard, and stroll through Lemonodassos, the Lemon Forest, filled with citrus trees, windmills, and waterfalls.

Relax on deck as you sail to Aegina, the former first capital of Greece, renowned for its pistachios. Enjoy a glass of ouzo at waterfront bars, pairing it with appetizers, and explore the island for about two hours.

Re-board for a one-hour sail back to Piraeus port, accompanied by a Greek music and dance show. Upon disembarkation, transfer back to your hotel. While optional activities are available, we recommend taking time to explore the islands at your own pace, swim, or shop for local goods.
