Arriving at the Kallithea marina, you will be greeted by our attendants. As soon as boarding is complete, at approximately 8:00, we are ready to set sail for the beautiful Argosaronic Islands, Hydra, Poros and Aegina.

Explore the ship and its lounges, bars and boutique. The cruise begins! All activities take on a summer hue at sea: Enjoy your coffee or a hearty breakfast surrounded by endless blue. Before arriving at the first island, the multilingual attendants inform you about the cruise program and the optional excursions we recommend to the islands.

The ship approaches our first station, the impressive amphitheatrically built island of Hydra (stay 1 hour and 45 minutes). Among others, adjectives such as cosmopolitan, historical, the island of arts and artists are attributed to Hydra, offering abundant material for its visitor to see and discover. It is also the only Greek island without wheeled vehicles, making donkeys not only mascots but also the main means of transport. Get lost in its narrow, cobbled streets, shop in the elegant shops and climb the cannons, right and left of the harbor to enjoy the magnificent view! You can also join the walking tour and learn all about the history of the island.

Second destination, “the verdant beauty”, the island of Poros (stay 50 minutes). It is also known as “The Venice of the Argosaronic”, due to the fact that it is separated from the Peloponnese by a sea channel. It is the island of peace and relaxation, ideal for romance, having inspired artists such as G. Seferis and H. Miller. Surrounded by pine, lemon and orange trees that reach the beach, Poros combines natural beauty with traditional, neoclassical architecture. Don’t forget to climb its historic clock, built on the highest peak of the hill, from where the magnificent view will repay you for the climb.

Back on board, the Chef has curated the culinary part of the experience, the spacious lounges have been transformed into luxurious dining rooms and we invite you to enjoy the buffet lunch with gusto! The buffet is based on Greek and Mediterranean flavors, while for the most “demanding”, there is a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan and lactose-intolerant options.

Traveling in the blue of the Argosaronic Sea, we reach our third stop, the island of Aegina (stay 2 hours). Aegina is famous mainly for the monastery of Agios Nektarios, the temple of Afaia and of course, its peanuts! The monastery of Agios Nektarios is one of the most important pilgrimages of Orthodoxy, with believers from all over the world flocking to the island to express their religious feelings and faith. Also, regarding the famous temple of Aphaia, it is one of the best preserved archaeological sites in Greece, with 24 of the original 34 pillars of the temple still standing today. It is said that together with the Parthenon temple in the Acropolis and the Poseidon temple in Sounio, they form an isosceles triangle, the sacred triangle of antiquity. Finally, the endless pistachio plantations of Aegina,
