Transfer by
motorcoach from Athens to Piraeus Port and embark on the
cruise ship.

Sail for the island
of HYDRA a favorite of the international
Jet-set - Hydra is the beloved muse of painters, craftsmen
and photographers. Its unique architecture, crystal clear
waters, splendid craft & jewel shops, folk art and the
island’s
traditional means of transport – the donkey, make it one of
the last examples of “living Mediterranean history”. In
Hydra you have time at leisure for strolling, shopping or
swimming.
In the early afternoon sail
for the island of AEGINA, passing through the
narrow strait separating the Peloponnesian coast from the
island of POROS. Aegina, is known for its rich history,
inspiring pistachio grove landscapes, Aegina Port’s lively
fish market and colorful floating fruit and vegetable
marketplace as well as picturesque seaside villages such as
St. Marina with its taverns, traditional shops and beautiful
golden beaches. During our call at one of the ports you may
choose to visit the majestic 5th century BC temple of the
Goddess Aphaia (Optional Tour) which is regarded
as the best preserved ancient temple of Greece offering a
magnificent view of the whole Saronic Gulf.
Lunch is served on board.
Sailing to POROS the smallest of
the three islands - Poros Town rests in a narrow
strait between Poros Island and the Peloponnese, quietly
nestled in the embrace of deep green pine forests and
mildly scented lemon groves. A climb to the town’s
magnificent bell tower offers an unforgettable view.
And if you think that the
day ends here….. you are mistaken!
A “Traditional
Greek Folk Show” with singers and dancers in
original costumes form all of Greece who, together
with our Officers, Hostesses will entertain and
animate you up to the final moment as the ship docks
in Piraeus.
