What to expect

See a different side to Greece on this day of island-hopping in the Saronic Gulf. You'll stop by Hydra, Poros and Aegina, lesser-known but steeped in unique charm and history. Explore each island at your leisure, and enjoy an included lunch onboard.

Cast off from Piraeus port and leave the city behind as you glide through the deep blue. You'll head to Hydra first, an island renowned for its well-preserved and unspoiled beauty. Hydra is car-free, making it a peaceful place to relax and soak in the sights and views. Explore the cobblestone streets, admire the traditional stone houses, and perhaps enjoy a coffee at a seaside café.

You'll then tuck into a tasty lunch onboard as you sail to Poros, known for its quaint port town. Stroll along the waterfront and have a poke around local shops, before your final stop at Aegina, the most remote of the three. Here, you can explore the narrow backstreets, visit the historic Venetian Markellos Tower, or opt for a tour of the ancient Temple of Aphaia.

    The guide Sophia was excellant, considering we were the only English couple in a French group, she always made sure we were ok, giving us info and tips about each island.

    C’est une excursion onéreuse où on a eu juste un aperçu très superficiel des trois îles avec juste quelques très brèves explications. Une partie du niveau 2 du bateau était censée réservée à Marmara, on a dû nous-mêmes aller à la chasse de la place car la partie réservée était occupée déjà par d’autres passagers du bateau. La guide, Sophia, était presque invisible ou dépassée par les événements. Le personnel du bateau pensait surtout à vendre des options supplémentaires. A déconseiller !

    Temps passé sur les îles trop court. Il serait préférable d'accoster sur 2 îles en supprimant Poros. Le repas sur le bateau moyen ainsi l'organisation. Pas assez de places réservées à notre groupe sur le bateau. Nous n'avons pas pu assister aux danses folkloriques car le pont supérieur était bondé. Sinon très belles vues du bateau sur les îles.

    Bateau trop gros avec de la musique et des annonces merchandising tout le long. Trop d'heures de bateau et pas assez de temps sur les îles pour faire autre chose que du shopping, à moins de prendre en plus des excursions sur le bateau (pour le temple à Egine par exemple). Nous avons été très déçus par cette excursion qui nous a été sur-vendue par l'équipe d'animation de l'hôtel.
