Three islands cruise -
Athens One Day Cruise program
We depart at 08.00 a.m. heading to the three beautiful islands of the
Saronic Gulf.
After departure, our guide and the hostesses will ask you to assemble in
one of the main lounges of the ship to get acquainted and to give you
all the information concerning the ship, the program of the cruise and
the islands and to make sure you will have a pleasant day.
Hydra, The favorite island of the jet set, whose old traditional
beautiful stone houses and mansions silently witness to a long and
turbulent story. The small narrow stone paved streets await you to
explore them on foot or by the island’s traditional “vehicle” the
saddled donkeys… captivating walks along the old seaside promenade
crystal clear waters, radiant fine craft shops and the beauty of Hydra
will conquer you! Our stay in Hydra is about 2 hours.
Poros, Although it is the smallest of the three islands that we visit,
its attraction is the narrow strait offering a most enchanting view of
the town of Poros. Our stay in Poros is about 1 hour.
Aegina, the largest of the three islands. Apart from its harbor, there
are optional organized tours by air conditioned busses visiting the
Temple of Aphaia (archeological site) or the Church of Saint Nektarios,
whose relics are on display. The above mentioned tours are optional and are
sold on board as well. Our stay in Aegina is about 2 hours.
On our way back to Marina Flisvos, a traditional Greek folk show with
singers and dancers will entertain you up to the final moment as the
ship arrives at Marina Flisvos.
HYDRA
The port of Hydra, whose amphitheatre shape
once served as a safe shelter for Pirates, welcomes you. From the decks,
you will be able to admire the very special architecture and dramatic
landscapes of the island, whose old traditional stone houses and
mansions silently witness to a long and turbulent history.
As soon as you disembark, it’s all there…
the small narrow stone-paved streets waiting to be explored on foot or
by the island’s traditional “vehicle” – the saddled donkey… captivating
walks along the old seaside promenade… crystal clear waters, radiant
traditional fine craft shops, the beauty of Hydra will conquer you
forever!
POROS
Second stop in our one-day cruise, the leafy beauty, the island of
Poros.
Poros is called "The Venice of the Saronic Gulf", as it is separated
from Peloponnese by a narrow channel of water.
It is the island of serenity and relaxation, the ideal place for a
romantic stroll.
Surrounded by pine, lemon and orange trees which reach the shores, Poros
is combining natural beauty with picturesque, neoclassical architecture.
Both can be admired via a long walk in its waterfront which has inspired
authors such as Georgios Seferis and Henry Miller.
A "not to miss" in this island, is the historical clock tower, located
on the hill's highest peak, from where you can admire a panoramic,
breathtaking view.
Getting back on the ship, after you got to meet Hydra and Poros, lunch
buffet is served! We offer a greek
cuisine-oriented buffet, halal certificate, with a rich variety of
options, including vegetarian, vegan and lactose intolerant choices.
AEGINA
The largest of the Saronic Islands, has
enjoyed a very dynamic past and a rich and vibrant present articulated
beautifully through its wonderful Pistachio Groves as well as colorful
floating fruit, vegetable & fish markets.
- We
heartily recommend one of our optional tours through which you will
discover the charms of this enchanting island :
•Visit to the Church of Saint
Nektarios which is a beautiful example of classic Byzantine architecture
housing the Saint’s silver carved tomb as well as relics of his everyday life.

wonderfully preserved 5th century B.C. temple of Aphaia which sits
majestically upon a forested hill and offers a magnificent view of
