After traveling for one and a half years in Asia<\/strong><\/a>, it was time to go back home. Since we had a layover in Athens, we decided to book a hotel for a few nights and explore the city. I ended up loving Athens and one of my favorite activities was the day cruise to Poros, Aegina, and Hydra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These three islands are beautiful and I only wish I could stay longer and explore each one of them for a few more hours. If you’re planning to visit the capital city of Greece, you have to take a day cruise from Athens. You can sit back and relax while you sail to some of the most incredible islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, you’ll find out everything you need to know if you’re considering a 3-island cruise from Athens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. How to prepare for a one day cruise from Athens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Greece is a country with more than 6000 islands and you’ll have the chance to visit three of them in just one day. All Athens cruises start early in the morning from Flisvos Marina (book your tour now<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get there you can use public transport (we took a bus from our hotel) or a taxi. Honestly, I recommend taking a taxi since buses in Athens are not very reliable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you get to your ship, make sure to present your reservation (some of the cruise companies require a printed reservation) and then you’ll be ready to board a massive ship that will take you to the beautiful islands of Poros, Hydra, and Aegina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ships are very comfortable and all day cruises from Athens include a delicious buffet lunch, Greek performances, and live Greek music. I had a lot of fun and I loved listening to traditional Greek music while sailing the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
