Check-in on the ship is possible from 2 pm onwards. Dinner on board and overnight stay in Piraeus. 2nd Day Island of Poros (aprx. 14 mi./23 km) In the morning we make a crossing over to the island of Poros. Before we reach the island’s main port, we enjoy a swimming stop where we have the chance to dive into the sea directly from the ship. In the afternoon and starting from the island’s capital of Poros, we almost completely circumnavigate the island. In ancient times, Poros was dedicated to the sea god Poseidon. Shortly before the end of the tour we arrive at Russian Bay, a sandy beach with turquoise blue waters, the perfect place for a relaxing swim! Back in the enchanting harbour of Poros, with its with its iconic clock tower soaring above the rest of the town, we end our eventful day in an authentic Greek atmosphere. 3rd Day Galatas – Ermioni – Porto Heli(aprx. 25 mi./40 km) After breakfast a small car ferry takes us from Poros to Galatas in the Peloponnese. Here we start our cycling tour which leads us along the sea and through fertile agricultural land towards the small coastal town of Ermioni. Here the boat awaits us for lunch onboard during a leisurely afternoon crossing to Porto Heli. If the weather permits, we can enjoy an extended swimming stop along the way. Overnight stay in Porto Heli. 4th Day Island of Spetses (aprx. 15 mi./25 km) In the morning we make a short crossing over to the island of Spetses with a long swimming break in a picturesque bay along the way. Before enjoying lunch on board there is some time to explore the charming old town of Spetses on foot. The island of Spetses got its name from the Venetians, who names it "Isola della spezie", the island of herbs. The aromatic scent of wild herbs accompanies us during our afternoon bike ride along the almost traffic-free panoramic road that circles the entire island. Almost throughout the entire ride we are treated to beautiful views of the turquoise sea. At one of the spectacular beaches, we enjoy a longer break for a swim and a coffee. Afterwards we explore the old harbour of Spetses by bike before returning to the ship. 5th Day Island of Hydra – Methana Peninsula (aprx. 10 mi./17 km) After a two-hour morning crossing, we reach the island of Hydra. Since ancient times, donkeys have been the only means of transport on this uniquely wonderous island, which during the Middle Ages came into great wealth thanks to seafaring. After the Greek War of Independence between 1821 and 1830, the island fell into a slumber of more than a hundred years. It was not until Hydra became the filming location for the 1957 film “Boy on a Dolphin”, starring the memorable Sofia Loren, that the island was given new life and became an artists' mecca. After exploring the port of Hydra on foot, we continue on to the Methana peninsula. The volcanic origin of the peninsula is immediately noticeable thanks to the smell of sulphur and the iridescent colours of the rocks. The peninsula is characterized by more than 30 volcanoes, a number of which are still active, and sulphurous thermal springs, some of which are used for medicinal purposes. In the late afternoon we enjoy a panoramic round trip with a pleasant coffee break in the enchanting fishing port of Vathy. Overnight stay in Methana. 6th Day Methana Peninsula – Island of Aegina (aprx. 16 mi./25 km + optional 12 mi./20 km) After breakfast we make another round trip on Methana with plenty of incredible views along the way. In the afternoon, we sail to the island of Aegina, well known beyond the borders of Greece for its excellent pistachios. In the old town of Aegina, there are plenty of pistachio products to purchase as well as numerous small boutiques lining the lively shopping streets. Should you not wish to walk through the town, you can also opt for a bike ride along the coast to the fishing village of Perdika. Overnight stay in Aegina town. 7th Day Island of Aegina – Piraeus/Athens (aprx. 22 mi./35 km) The island of Aegina is famous even beyond the borders of Greece for its excellent pistachios. Today’s bike tour takes us up to the sanctuary of the goddess Aphaia. The beautifully preserved temple towers high up above the blue sea, the only place on the island from where the Aegean Sea can be seen on both sides. On the ride back we will cycle through the centre of the island passing the great monastery of Saint Nektarios to Aegina city where the ship awaits. We then sail back to Athens and our exciting Greek cruise comes to an end with a final, celebrative evening on board. 8th Day Athens(Disembarkation) After breakfast on board it is time to disembark to return home or to extend your holiday a few days longer in Athens.

What Our GuestsHave To Say Excellent staff onboard, good food. Exceptional guides This was our third IslandHopping trip, and as with the others, it was terrific! Great people, great experiences, great food and mostly great accommodations. Our guides (***) were fantastic - our best yet!! The captain and crew of Thalassa were also fantastic. All of them worked hard to provide us with a great experience. We were a group of 14 family members and friends. My only complaint is that we had a terrible sewage smell in our cabin throughout most of the trip. We complained to the guides … We took our first trip with Islandhopping in 2018. I had booked the trip through a reseller and did not realize Islandhopping was the provider until we arrived and began the trip. On our most recent trip, we were unable to complete one day of our sail/bike experience due to weather. That was understandable, but it seemed like a substitute activity was "made up on the spot" by one of our guides. Ideally, the company would have several contingency plans prepared for such instances and provide … Our Islandhopper Peloponnese and Saronic Islands trip in October was amazing! The guides,*** were excellent and made our days safe, interesting and fun. The Crew helped make it a comfortable and relaxing trip and the Chef had a wide spread of delicious Greek food at every meal and eating it on deck under the back canopy will be a lasting memory. They were very accommodating with special dietary needs of one in our group. The bike rides on the island were all great and on roads with few other …
