You will have about 1 hour and 30 minutes at leisure to enjoy the unique charms of Hydra island, whose amphitheater shape once served as a safe shelter for Saronic Pirates.

Beautiful and lots to see

Hydra was especially beautiful to walk around as was seeing the sunset at Temple of Aphaia on Aigina (this was an additional paid for excursion but worth doing). It ended up being a pretty long day overall (725am hotel pick up and 8pm drop off) and a bit pricey but worth doing especially if you are tight on time in Athens. Good solo traveller excursion. The staff were all incredibly friendly and the music and dancing show at the end was fun.

Subpar food and guided tour

Organised and structured well, timely and efficient. Food and guided tours subpar and mediocre - not worth the money at all.

The excursion that we brought on the ship was not good. Our guide did not speak English well, so it was hard to follow

Beautiful landscape from the ship. The food on the ship was just ok! The crew was great. Please don’t buy the excursions! Not worth the money
