Enjoy a One-Day Cruise on the Saronikos Gulf
An unforgettable experience during your stay in Athens, Greece by joining an idyllic one-day cruise to the three most famous islands of the Saronikos Gulf – Hydra, Poros and Aegina gives you the chance to explore them. First stop, the cosmopolitan Hydra island with its cobblestone alleys, its unspoilt -over the centuries- unique architectural beauty, as well as the traditional means of transportation that you can find on the island, its donkeys, will make the visitors fall in love with it at first sight. One of our beloved stops during the One Day Cruise that has remained one of passengers’ favorite. Also, it has inspired a lot of artists such as Sagale, Pablo Picasso and Leonard Cohen. Hydra is the first Greek island located in the Saronic Gulf to have hosted an American production. Ever since cinema drew inspiration from Hydra a lot of famous movies have been filmed on this beautiful island like Sofia Loren’s Boy on a dolphin and Melina Merkouri’s Phaedra.
Next stop is the port of Poros, where we stay for 50 minutes. Poros is located opposite Peloponesse peninsula and is part of the Saronic islands complex. A leafy island with insuperable natural beauty and thousands of pine trees, expanding from the steep beaches to the sandy beaches making Poros the island of romance and serenity. This small place adored by Seferis, the Greek Nobel laureate, and Henry Miller. Meanwhile, the architecture on Poros island reminds us of the one in Cyclades. Walk across the town and discover the city hall, the archaeological museum of Poros, the public library, the cultural center and the white little houses. Then, head towards the highest point of the island, to discover the historical and famous clock tower of Poros.
Last stop of this unique One Day Cruise from Athens is the historical island of Aegina.The biggest island of the Saronic gulf which took its name by the beautiful nymph who was kidnapped by Zeus. Aegina is well known across the world for the delicious pistachios, the beautiful “virgin” beaches and the Temple of Aphaia. We stay in Aegina for 2 hours. There is enough time to enjoy your coffee and the pistachio sweets or even better join a horse ride through the traditional streets, or to participate in the historical Panoramic Bus Tour of the island and discover its hidden treasures. After our visit at our last destination, we will have the pleasure to present you our Traditional Greek Folkloric Show with singers and dancers from all over Greece that will entertain you on the way back to Athens.
