From Athens: Full Day Hydra, Poros & Aegina With Lunch

About this experience

From Athens: Full Day Hydra, Poros & Aegina Island Cruise With Lunch This full-day cruise takes you to three distinct Saronic Gulf islands, each offering its own character and attractions. Departing from Piraeus Port at 8am, you'll spend a total of 12 hours exploring Hydra's car-free cobbled streets, Poros's pine-covered landscapes, and Aegina's ancient temples and pistachio groves. The comfortable cruise boat provides spectacular Aegean Sea views as you travel between islands. A buffet lunch with fresh ingredients is served onboard, accompanied by traditional Greek music and live dancing performances. The itinerary allows 90 minutes on Hydra, time to explore Poros's town centre and beaches, and three hours on Aegina to visit the Temple of Aphaia or relax in the port. Each island stop offers swimming opportunities in turquoise waters, so bring your swimwear and towel. The route may vary between Poros-Hydra-Aegina or Aegina-Poros-Hydra, but the time allocated to each destination remains consistent.
