One Day Cruise to Hydra - Poros - Aegina from Athens

We enjoyed every moment of it. Unfortunately there was a bit of hiccup with lunch but in the end everyone got their lunch. We can only recommend as this was a one day cruise of good value and well worth it.

The trip was interesting. We chose it as we wanted to sample island life without making a special trip to Santorini or Mykonos. It was difficult obtaining seats on arrival but we arrived at the boat earlier after every stop to get a good seat. There is not much to do on the islands so the time at each stop was sufficient for us as we chose not to do any tours. The Buffet lunch consisted of rice, roast chicken and fish with a dessert. No drinks included, even water. We were lucky to get the first seating and had arrived early on the boat so it was not rushed. The Live orchestra on board consisted of a guy on a guitar and another on keyboard. The traditional Greek Folk Show we did not see this so im not sure if it even happened. The Wi-Fi was very poor and only available in some areas so a complete waste of time.

We only had 4 days in Athens, so I don't want to spend a whole day getting to Santorini or Mykonos and back. This was a good option for visiting the islands without having to leave Athens for the night. Hydra was definitely the best of the islands, though Aegina had its attractions. I would have preferred more time in Hydra over the stop in Poros. There's really nothing there, so I'm not sure why we stopped. I read someone else's review saying they skipped the excursion in Aegina and took a cab up to the temple. We took their advice, and after talking with others who did do the excursion, it was definitely the right choice. Overall, it was an easy, no-stress, no-travel option for visiting the islands.

I enjoyed it, but I suggest to sto onkt in 2 Islands. Hydra and Aegina and allow more time to shop and relax. The buffet needs to anounce when it is open and whos turn it is. No ask for your card and therefore people were not following tbe order. My food was cold. The dessert was too poor and the staff in the dinning room was not friendly.

My family went on this conducted tour of the three islands. For us, it was a sheer waste of time. Firstly, it was written in the fine print that they would give us 2 hours in Hydra. In reality it was 1hr15mins. I felt we were rushed and wasn't given enough time to appreciate the island or even have a cup of coffee. Secondly, the amount charged by this company is only the fees to take you from point A to point B. Once we were in the cruise, they were pushing to sell the additional items, like a walking tour in Hydra, visit to the temple in Aegina, swimming tour in Aegina. It was seriously irritating to be part of such a rip off. Thirdly, they seat you in 2 sessions for lunch and we were a part of the second session. By the time we had lunch, it was after 3pm. Well, seems like we all paid the same dues, but they would randomly decide the meal time. I felt it was pretty unfair, because to reach this cruise, we had to be out of our hotel by 7.30 with a light breakfast. It was a long wait till 3pm and the restaurant in the ship had a crappy menu. Fourth, the trip to Hydra was 3 hours long and super boring. There was hardly anytime to do anything in Poros. We were given ample time in Aegina, but they kept trying to sell us their tours and kept repeating that there is nothing to do in the Aegina harbor. Well, it surprised us. Why did they have to halt the cruise for 2 hours in Aegina if they knew that there was nothing to do in the harbor of Aegine? Hey wait, so that they can make a few extra bucks. My 2 cents: take the super fast ferry to Hydra, enjoy you day in one island. Aegina can also be added. I bet it will be cheaper and a better way to see these Saronic Islands. But seriously, stay away from cruise like these. They are a waste of time during your precious vacation!!!

Trop monde donc nous avions de la misère à trouver des place a s’asseoir! Mais, nous avons apprécié les endroits et le repas très bon!
