WHY WE LOVE IT

3 islands in a day on a real cruise ship, available all year round! Need we say more?!

Activity Description

In a country with more than 6.000 islands and islets, imagine an excursion that allows you to visit three of them in a day: The cosmopolitan, beautiful Hydra, leafy and romantic Poros and historical Aegina, the capital of the world-renowned pistachio! On an elegant cruise ship you will experience a day full of sun, sea, greek flavors, dance and music.

The excursion takes place with two vessels (depending on availability and weather), both newly and fully refurbished, consisting of three decks, including a spacious sun deck, ideal for sun soaking, multiple bars and comfortable lounges, dining areas, a luxurious separate VIP lounge and a boutique.

Prepare yourself with all the cruise’s essentials: sunscreen, hat, swimsuit, comfortable attire and most importantly, a big smile! Board and discover the cruise ship, choose the right spot for you, get comfortable and relax. Every activity becomes special while on board: Drink your coffee and enjoy a hearty, greek breakfast with the surroundings of endless blue. The experience includes lunch and the option of guided tours to Hydra and Aegina (at extra charge).

About the destinations:

First stop: Hydra, the only greek island without cars, making its donkeys apart from the island’s mascot, also its main means of transportation. Lose yourself in the narrow, cobblestone streets, enjoy the multiple, delicate shopfronts, climb the parapets with the canons, right and left from the entrance of the port and be mesmerized by the view!

Second stop: Poros, surrounded by pine, lemon and orange trees which reach the shores, Poros is combining natural beauty with picturesque, neoclassical architecture. A “not to miss” in this island, is the historical clock tower, located on the hill’s highest peak.

Third stop: Aegina, the first capital of modern Greece. Aegina is mainly known for its ancient temple of Aphaia, its monastery of St Nektarios and of course, its pistachio nut!
