Island Hopping By E-Bike & Boat Peloponnese & Saronic Islands Plus 2025

Individual journey to Athens (Marina Alimos/Palaia Faliro). Check-in on the ship is possible from 1400HRS onwards. Dinner on board and overnight stay in Athens.

In the morning, make a crossing over to the island of Poros. Before you reach the island’s main port, enjoy a swimming stop where you have the chance to dive into the sea directly from the ship. In the afternoon and starting from the island’s capital of Poros, you almost completely circumnavigate the island. In ancient times, Poros was dedicated to the sea god Poseidon. Shortly before the end of the tour you arrive at Russian Bay, a sandy beach with turquoise blue waters, the perfect place for a relaxing swim! Back in the enchanting harbour of Poros, with its iconic clock tower soaring above the rest of the town, you end your eventful day in an authentic Greek atmosphere.

Cycle route approx 23km

After breakfast a small car ferry takes you from Poros to Galatas in the Peloponnese. Here you start your cycling tour which leads you along the sea and through fertile agricultural land towards the small coastal town of Ermioni. Here the Thalassa awaits you for lunch on board during a leisurely afternoon crossing to Porto Heli. If the weather permits, you can enjoy an extended swimming stop along the way. Overnight stay in Porto Heli.

Cycle route approx 40km

In the morning you make a short crossing over to the island of Spetses with a long swimming break in a picturesque bay along the way. Before enjoying lunch on board there is some time to explore the charming old town of Spetses on foot. The island of Spetses got its name from the Venetians, who call it 'Isola della spezie', the island of herbs. The aromatic scent of wild herbs accompanies you during your afternoon bike ride along the almost traffic-free panoramic road that circles the entire island. Almost throughout the entire ride you are treated to beautiful views of the turquoise sea. At one of the spectacular beaches, enjoy a longer break for a swim and a coffee. Afterwards, explore the old harbour of Spetses by bike before returning to the ship.

Cycle route approx 25km

After a two-hour morning crossing, reach the island of Hydra. Since ancient times, donkeys have been the only means of transport on this uniquely wonderous island, which during the Middle Ages came into great wealth thanks to seafaring. After the Greek War of Independence between 1821 and 1830, the island fell into a slumber of more than a hundred years. It was not until Hydra became the filming location for the 1957 film “Boy on a Dolphin”, starring the memorable Sofia Loren, that the island was given new life and became an artists' mecca. After exploring the port of Hydra on foot, continue on to the Methana peninsula. The volcanic origin of the peninsula is immediately noticeable thanks to the smell of sulphur and the iridescent colours of the rocks. The peninsula is characterized by more than 30 volcanoes, a number of which are still active, and sulphurous thermal springs, some of which are used for medicinal purposes. In the late afternoon, enjoy a panoramic round trip with a pleasant coffee break in the enchanting fishing port of Vathy. Overnight stay in Methana.

Cycle route approx 17km

After breakfast, make another round trip on Methana with plenty of incredible views along the way. In the afternoon, sail to the island of Aegina, well known beyond the borders of Greece for its excellent pistachios. In the Old Town of Aegina, there are plenty of pistachio products to purchase as well as numerous small boutiques lining the lively shopping streets. Should you not wish to walk through the town, you can also opt for a bike ride along the coast to the fishing village of Perdika. Overnight stay in Aegina town. 

Cycle route approx 25km + optional 20km

The Island of Aegina is famous even beyond the borders of Greece for its excellent pistachios. Today’s bike tour takes you up to the sanctuary of the goddess Aphaia. The beautifully preserved temple towers high up above the blue sea, the only place on the island from where the Aegean Sea can be seen on both sides. On the ride back you will cycle through the centre of the island passing the great monastery of Saint Nektarios to Aegina city where the ship awaits. You will then sail back to Marina Alimos/Palaia Faliro and your exciting Greek cruise comes to an end with a final, celebrative evening on board.

Cycle route approx 35km

After breakfast onboard it is time to disembark to return home or to extend your holiday a few days longer in Athens.
