Very well organized excursion from start to finish. The extra cost for informative tours of Hydra and Poros are worth it!
The narrow and beautiful streets of Hydra and Poros. The panoramic bus ride in Egina. Wonderful sight from the clock tower of Poros.
Hydra and Aegina were fantastic. You do spend most of your day on the boat (like 6-7 hrs) so if youbwanted more island time, maybe just pick one island to visit.
