We depart at 08.00 heading to three beautiful islands of the Saronic Gulf, Aegina, Poros, Hydra.
After
our departure we kindly ask you to join the guides and hostesses in one
of the main lounges so that we can inform you first and most
importantly of our safety measures on board and then of the exciting
program we offer you, visiting three absolutely lovely greek islands.
Our aim is to offer you a happy relaxed and interesting day.
Hydra
The
favorite island of the jet set, whose old traditional beautiful stone
houses and mansions stand 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. You
can take captivating walks alone the old seaside promenade's crystal
clear waters. Also the fine coffee and craft shops of Hydra will welcome
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. Wander through the tiny
streets and get a feel of how the greek people have lived as an island
community living from the sea [get a look at all the octapus drying along the
seafront] . Dont get too lost as the ship could leave without you!!!
Aegina
This
is the largest of the three islands you are visiting. It has a lovely
harbor and very pretty long quayside or promenade, ideal for a stroll
along the boats moored alongside or for renting a bicycle to go a little
further. We recommend you take one of our short tours [sold on board]
and visit by coach either the fascinating Sun Temple of Afaia [being the
third point in the triangular group of temples built by the ancient
greeks including the Acropolis in Athens and the Temple of Poseiden at
Sounion] or visit the Holy Church of St Nektarios, whose relics [bones]
are actually on display in this holy place...............
On the
last part of your day on board we offer you a fun and sometimes noisy
traditional Greek Folkloric Traditional Show with music and singing and
dancing to entertain you until we return back to athens and to Marina.
