Instead of just transferring you to Piraeus Port to catch the ferry, you will have the chance to kick back and enjoy the drive along the Saronic Gulf to the edge of Argolic region. We will catch the ferry to Hydra from the port of Metochi.
Picturesque HYDRA is rich in naval history against the Ottoman Empire! With her breathtaking port, promenade with donkeys, cafes, tavernas, restaurants, bars, cocktail lounges and boutique hotels, Hydra, provides a refreshing visit for her guests!
The air, refreshingly warm, with freshly baked pastries, carries the smell of the sea! Enjoy your espresso, frappé or cocktail and refresh yourself with a quick dip off the caldera.

5.00All the places in Greece have their charm, their colors between white and blue are an invitation to tour their countless islands including the tour of Hydra although its name leads to believe its abundance in this element is quite the opposite ,land of pirates....there is a bust of one that has history in Argentina...they sound Admiral Brown.

5.00The owner of the company, George was amazing because we ended up not being able to do the full tour and he arranged for us to take the fast boat over to Hydra on our own. He had a car take us to the port and pick us up and arrange for our tickets on the boat. This was all very last minute and he couldn’t have been more accommodating. Thank you for providing an excellent experience!!! Highly recommend working with this company.

5.00My tour with Adonis was phenomenal! I actually wanted to cancel the tour after I discovered that it would be rained out. However, Adonis put together an alternate tour experience that proved to be nothing short of amazing and saved my trip to Athens! I would highly recommend this tour company for your stay in Greece.

5.00Nathan and I also booked the Hydra Island private excursion with Ancient Greece Tours. I have to say, we embarked on a truly magical journey. We began with a scenic drive to the port in the Peloponnese, where I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the breathtaking coastal views along the way. Our first stop was at the Isthmus Canal, a marvel of engineering that left me in awe. It was the perfect prelude to our island adventure. Then, we hopped on a ferry to Hydra Island, and that's where the real adventure began. No cars on the island, just donkeys strolling around and creating this super chill vibe. It was like stepping back in time. Our guide was awesome. He filled us in on all the island's history and culture stuff. Exploring the island's history and culture with our guide was enlightening. Lunch at a seaside taverna was a culinary delight. Fresh seafood and local flavors left us craving for more. God, Greece has the best seafood. As the day unfolded, we savored every moment on Hydra. From donkeys strolling the streets to the serene waterfront, the island's beauty was a sight to behold. Ancient Greece Tours created an unforgettable experience that I'll cherish forever. If you seek a day of scenic wonders and historical charm, we highly recommend this tour. Joy & Nathan
