About Athens Day Cruise

The great Athenian day out by sea: a single day that takes in Hydra, Poros and Aegina, run jointly by Hydraiki Naval Company and Evermore Cruises aboard the 70-metre cruise yacht Cosmos or the three-deck catamaran Platytera ton Ouranon. The ship leaves Athens at 7.45am and is back by early evening, with the longest calls at Hydra and Aegina, a buffet lunch on board and live music and a folk-dance show on the way home. It suits first-time visitors who want three islands in one go rather than a lazy swim day. Our advice: the VIP ticket adds lounge access, hotel transfers and the Hydra walking tour, and it is worth it in high summer.
