Depart from Piraeus Port on the local ferry to reach Hydra in less than 2 hours, then enjoy about 5 hours at your disposal to discover this amazing Greek island independently. Wander around the picturesque town filled with red-tiled houses and stone-paved narrow alleys until it is time to take the ferry back to Athens. This package includes ferry tickets to Hydra Island and pickup and drop-off from centrally located hotels in Athens.

Everything went smoothly. Our driver was on time to pick us up at the hotel with the ferry tickets. Hydra is charming. No cars allowed only the donkeys. An abundance of restaurants and great views. Very relaxing.

It was amazing! Our drivers to and from our hotel to port were super helpful and kind. Hydra was Incredible. Such a peaceful island with so much to see and the best cafes and people. We went on a donkey ride around the gorgeous cobblestoned streets and ate amazing food. We saw local historical sites and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the island. Definitely need to see this place when visiting Greece.

This package should not be called a tour. We had transportation from and back to our hotel which was great. The taxi driver gave us our tickets and said there is your boat. There was no representative from that tour at the boat. We got on the boat we did not see anyone from the tour. We did not get any refreshments on the boat. We disembarked and did our own thing. I could have bought the tickets on my own and arranged transportation on our own.

This is an excellent tour for experienced travelers. Ferry tickets and transportation via taxi to and from our hotel to the ferry was provided. The taxi driver escorted us to the ferry and met us after the return trip. We enjoyed our easy self-guided day on Hydra very much.

It was a really nice tripe actually! We enjoyed the views the islands and the shops !BUT the big problem was,that the boat was more than a full ! Most ppl didn't have seats ! And they offer you to buy VIP tickets to sit ! It was awful organised! Second once u r in the islands they offer you to buy tours ! DON'T its just a waist of money as the tours r so short and very expensive! They promised to take us to a pistachio garden but we only crossed by car from it ! They promised to treat us the famous drink OUZO they didnt ! The food was HORRIBLE not testy at all ! It was chicken rice and some salad with one piece of bread ! We had to pay extra to buy food !!! Anyway the guides were FANTASTIC , but be careful dont trust the company too much :)

Couple things to point out: we booked a trip to Hydra but wound up on Poros. It was charming and lovely but the challenge is neither my wife nor I speak Greek.

The pickup was at 8:00 am. Took 30 minutes…but the ship didn’t leave till 10:00 am. No idea why we were forced to wait for an hour and a half.

The ticket was entirely in Greek but I could read the name of the boat. It was the Flying Cat 5. That boat ride was 90 minutes. We got off and enjoyed the day.

Here’s the other challenge: our return ticket was at 18:30 or 6:30. However the boat showed up and took off with no one boarding. Turns out the boat makes two stops.

So now we have to wait till 7:30 for the boat.

Not really sure what happened because we never made it to Hydra. I would not use this operator again, sadly.

Too expensive for what they offer.
I payed 165€ for the boat round trip. If you buy at the harbour costs 57€. They just offered the tranfer to the harbour 1.30h before the departure. Long time. No transfer at the return. Had to pay a táxi. Too expensive.
