Short answer

Is Saronic Gulf Three-Island Cruise (Hydra, Poros, Aegina) worth it?

Saronic Gulf Three-Island Cruise (Hydra, Poros, Aegina) deserves a place on most first itineraries. Go early or reserve ahead. Crowds are part of the cost.

The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.

Why

  1. 01

    For a no-planning taste of the islands in one day it's efficient and sociable — buffet lunch, sun deck, three different harbours.

  2. 02

    The catch: it's the textbook tour-group experience: barely 60–90 minutes ashore per island, a packed boat, recorded commentary, and not nearly enough time to actually feel any one place.
