Everything you should know before you book
You don't need to fly to reach a Greek island from Athens — the Saronic Gulf islands are a short sail from the port of Piraeus and the coastal marinas. The signature trip is the three-island day cruise to Hydra, Poros, and Aegina, with swim stops, lunch on board, and time ashore in each port.
For a quieter day, choose the smaller Agistri and Moni boat trips. Hydra is car-free and arty, Aegina is known for its pistachios and the Temple of Aphaia, and Moni is an uninhabited islet ideal for a swim. Day cruises are weather-dependent, so build flexibility into your dates.
