Sightseeing Cruises

From Athens: Hydra, Poros & Aegina Islands Full-Day Cruise with Buffet Lunch

Spend a full day at sea as you sail between three Saronic Gulf islands, with time to wander harbors, sightsee and shop along the way.

Start your adventure by boarding your cruise from Athens in the morning, with multilingual escorts on board as you set course for the islands.

Cruise between Hydra, Poros, and Aegina on a single ticket, discover each island’s waterfronts, lanes, and landmarks, and enjoy a folklore show featuring traditional dances on board

Take breaks from exploring to relax on board with a buffet lunch, scenic views from the open decks, and plenty of time to soak in the atmosphere at each stop.

Upgrade your day with optional hotel transfers that bring you from your accommodation to the port and back, so you can focus on the islands instead of logistics.

Overall was nice, but unfortunately, because of the weather we not go to Hydra island. The Lunch buffet was not so tasty and was served cold.

Great atmosphere, though it was hard to find a seat at first. The food was great, and the tour was enjoyable but a bit short for Hydra.
