Be prepared for a long hot day. Unfortunately we missed Hydra because of the very high winds on the day. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Lunch on the ship was mediocre and drinks and snacks are very expensive. Best to eat on the islands you visit. Recommend trying the pistachio gelato in Aegina. It was delicious!
It was a fun trip. We...

It was a fun trip. We did best that can be done to cover three islands in one day. A bit too crowded, may be. Other than that it was very well organized. If you cannot afford more time to spend in the islands - this becomes a must tour.
Yeah - Hydra

Great trip to the three islands starting with Hydra then Poros followed by Aegina. Once on board you are called to an area where information is given on timings and tours available which is helpful. The company are very organised. Set off at 8am and docked at Hydra approx 11.20am. Got 1 hour and 15 mins there to look around. Beautiful place and would recommend the tour that is offered by the company that tells you about the place. Lunch was served as soon as we boarded for the next stop and it was a good buffet style help yourself lunch of fish/chicken legs and pasta , slaw and potatoes etc. Poros was the next stop and also pretty with a bell tower that you can walk up to. You don’t get long here though which is a shame so might not have enough time do do this unless you rush. We literally got an icecream then it was time to be boarding again. Last stop was Aegina where you can wander around or do either a cultural tour of a monastery and church or panoramic tour of the island. We did the latter which also takes you to the church and tells you about the island. Really enjoyed the trip. Would recommend. Only negative I would say is that there is not much time in the places and timings are strict. If you aren’t back on they go without you. 1 hr 15 in Hydra, 45 mins in Poros and 2 hours in Aegina. Aegina has little streets and pistachio stalls and cafes which you don’t really get time to see if doing either bus tour so would recommend to take this into account when planning your time there.
