Hi there folks, it's been a while. Been traveling some more, will be posting pictures here soon and will also do a blog on my main page about the little Euro-trip we did in November.
Here are some photos and a few lines about this great little day trip we did from Athens at the end of our Santorini trip. This seems to be the more popular tour as it's offered at most hotels in Athens, and rightfully so. The three islands we visited-although for a short time- were lovely and picturesque, the boat ride was nice and comfortable and the dinner served was fantastic with a fun traditional dance show at the end of the trip. So I highly recommend it, a very "touristy" thing to do but still fun.
So the boat leaves from the Piraeus port, buses pick you up at your hotel in the morning. First stop is Hydra, loved this island. It's small, no cars, just donkeys and boats to get around. A beautiful marina, with busy tavernas and cafes all along the sea shore. Small streets lined with beautiful white buildings, trimmed with yellow, blue or red doors and windows, one wouldn't mind getting lost around here :) After that it was Poros, another beautiful island, the port overlooks the large peninsula known as the Peloponnese which is separated from the mainland by the Corinth Canal and which by the way is beautiful part of Greece worth exploring too. It was a very short stop here but enough for us to walk around a bit, even found a little church on a hillside where a wedding was in progress just outside the compound overlooking the beautiful blue sea. And the last stop was Aegina, this one is a bit bigger and worth exploring a bit more, there you have the option of taking a bus tour to the Temple of Afea Athena or taking a swim at a near by beach. Although a day trip isn't quite enough to enjoy what all these islands have to offer, but if you're visiting Greece and are staying in Athens to see all the historical spots there, this is a great little detour of a few Greek Island worth doing... just a taste. :)
Enjoy the photos
