★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 119 reviews · from $15Our pick

“The island of Agistri beautiful and worth the trip but the ferry trip very hard. A school trip sailed with us ( full ferry of teenagers). Saronic transport company organizationally performed very poorly. huge delays in both directions, terrible noise and smoking in every corner of the ferry. Next time I would choose another company.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 29 reviews · 9 hours · from $206

Travel from your Athens hotel to Piraeus, then take a ferry to car-free Hydra. Your driver, often Yiannis, handles transfers, tickets, water, and a snack, while you spend about four hours exploring independently, from stone mansions and churches to tavernas and seaside paths.

“Yiannis was an excellent guide and made the day trip fun and enjoyable. He was punctual for both pick up and drop off at the hotel, with great communication throughout the day. He his personality made the experience smooth and enjoyable. He even added a special extra stop on the return trip to catch an unforgettable Athens sunset. Hydra itself is absolutely stunning—charming streets, secluded beaches, and a peaceful vibe that made it the perfect ending to my trip. It's truly worth the visit, and I only wish I had more time to soak in Hydra’s beauty.”
