Your Experience

Leave behind the bustling city of Athens and head to the tranquil islands of Hydra and Poros on a one-day tour. Your trip attendant, who is also a trained archeologist, will meet you at Piraeus Metro Station at 7:10 AM. You will then be taken to the boarding point in about 5 minutes. As you sail from the Port of Piraeus, your guide will begin telling you about the fascinating history of this port.

Your first stop is at Poros. Spend close to 2.5 hours exploring this lush island that is known for its pine groves. The old clock tower is truly a sight to behold on the island. Visit the Poros archeological museum before taking a short coffee break with the archeologist. Once you are back on board, the boat will head to the island of Hydra. Take a leisurely 30-minute walk along the famous Vlychos Beach. Don your swimming gear and leap into the crystal-clear waters for a short swim. The beach is suitable for young children, making it a fabulous place to spend some quality time with your family. Finally, stop for some delectable traditional delicacies at the Beach-Front Tavern on the same island. You will be back at Piraeus Port by around 8 PM.
