Itinerary
After transferring from Athens to port by motor coach (if port transfers option has been selected), you'll set sail for the island of Poros, where you'll have free time for strolling and shopping.
Next, it's on to the island of Hydra. You will have about 1 hour and 30 minutes at leisure to enjoy the unique charms of Hydra island, whose amphitheater shape once served as a safe shelter for Saronic Pirates. From the decks, you will be able to admire the very special architecture and dramatic landscapes of this island, whose old traditional stone houses and mansions silently stand witness to a long and turbulent history.
Upon arrival in Egina (Aegina) you can either join an excursion to the Temple of Aphaia (cost not included) or take a walk around the main town. Aegina is one of the Saronic islands of Greece in the Saronic Gulf. The lovely island is only 31 miles (50 kilometers) from Athens, and is a popular getaway for Athenians during the summer months. After sailing back to port you'll be transferred to Athens city.

Traveler reviews
Phenomenal experience overall..🇬🇷💙
The experience was well worth the money. We did an upgrade to VIP and had the best time. Reina was our host and was amazing. We knew what our plans were and when to meet. She even took us to a cute bakery in Poros. The service staff did a phenomenal job at making sure we had our requests met. Would definitely recommend to my family and friends.

Take a hat and a good camera. Friendly and available crew. Stops that are too short to enjoy.
Relaxing way to see three islands.
What a lovely way to spend a day. Three Beautiful islands, yummy lunch and great music and dancing on the way home. We loved our day. The weather was perfect and it was a nice and relaxing way to see three islands. Thoroughly recommend.
Fun day-cruise to visit 3 Greek islands!
This was such a cool experience getting to visit three different Greek islands in one trip was amazing, especially since each one had its own unique character and charm. It was a great way to see a variety of landscapes and vibes all in a single day. The staff on the main boat were friendly, organized, and very informative, which made everything run smoothly and added to the overall enjoyment of the trip. Our only wish was that we could have spent a bit more time on each island, but we understand the distances involved and how much ground the tour covers. Overall, it was a fantastic way to explore multiple islands, and we’d definitely recommend it!
