Itinerary
First stop, is the port of Poros where our stay is for 1 hour. Poros is the island of peace, romance and jauntiness. Walk across the town and discover the city hall, the archeological museum and head towards the highest point of the island, to discover the historical and famous clock tower.
Next stop is the cosmopolitan Hydra where the cruise ship remains for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Hydra is a very popular island because of its extremely picturesque capital, full of red-tiled houses and stone-paved narrow alleys. The traditional means of transportation that you can find on the island, its donkeys, will make you fall in love with it at first sight.
Last stop, is the famous island of Aegina which is the biggest island of the Saronic gulf and well known for its great production of colorful pistachios, the Temple of Afaia and the monastery of Saint Nektarios. We stay at the port of Aegina for around 2 hours. There is enough time to enjoy your coffee and the famous pistachio sweets at the beautiful port or discover its hidden treasures. After sailing back to port you'll be transferred to Athens.

Traveler reviews
VIP worth it. Swimming excursion a big disappointment
The VIP portion of the boat was worth the money. I would recommend the VIP for anyone with little children or older adults due to the air conditioning. I was not pleased with the swimming excursion that we paid around $26.00 per person. Towels are not provided, we were giving an hour to swim but were told not to come back to the transport wet or sandy. We were a large group. A total of 12 people. So for $329.44 we got robbed.
Day trip boat experience
This is a long day on the boat. Hydra was fun to walk around. Poros was a very short stop-not much time to do anything. In Aegina we chose the swimming excursion. I assumed it was included but it was 22 Euro per person. We only had an hour at the beach and were told we couldn’t come back wet or sandy so most of us were too scared to get too far into the water.
Great way to visit three islands on one day!
We took the VIP package and it was a great experience. There were couple of people always waiting to serve you. I even took an afternoon nap after a great lunch. Highly recommend it!
All 3 islands were...
All 3 islands were beautiful!!! Hydra being our favorite! Staff on the boat were exceptional and the food was better than I expected..above average for sure. We paid for the VIP…and the food was the same as what everyone else got. Chose VIP to make sure we could seek shelter from the sun if needed, so it was worth it for that.
You will get exactly what...
You will get exactly what you paid for. Included pick up & drop off from your hotel, skip the line to enter the ship, nice VIP area with your designated friendly ship staff to serve you refreshments, appetizer, and a 3 course meal. And of course time to visit 3 beautiful islands! I have no complaints about this tour.
