ヒドラ島：アテネから日帰り（水泳付き）

Was a great day out and Hydra is beautiful!! Out guide was great and very informative. Comfortable coach there and back and the boat ride was a blast. One annoying thing was that the tour listing doesn't mention that you have a 3.5 hour coach ride both ways to the boat to go to Hydra. Also don't expect a normal type of beach as the beach area is actually rocks next to the water and was very crowded. That said enjoyed our day and Hydra was picture perfect!!

Great day trip from Athens. Well organized and on time. Nice ride in the coach van with a stop at the Corinth Canal on the way to the water taxi that took us to the island. Our guide was awesome. Very knowledgeable and gave a great tour both during the drive to the water taxi and once on the island. Would definitely recommend

The bus ride was extremely long, but despite that Hydra was a beautiful island. I wish that the excursion felt more cohesive.

It’s a four and a half hour drive and it’s not luxury at all. The public transportation in Athens is better than this. The WiFi on the bus doesn’t work and neither does the bathroom. The driver makes a lot of sharp turns and sudden stops making it feel very unsafe and impossible to sleep. There’s no information given on the bus so not sure the point of the guide. She makes maybe 10 minutes worth of history lesson for the entire 9 hours driving. Then they upcharge you 5 euros for the ferry which is actually 15 euros round trip. On top of all that you only get 3 hours on the island where you again get no tour. Overall horrible, you could guid yourself better with the internet. Pick literally any other tour or just take the ferry from Piraeus. You’ll pay less and get there faster with the ability to stay longer. Will never book this tour company again.

Lydia was an excellent guide pointing out interesting facts along the way. For our first trip to Greece it was a pleasure to have the views on the way to the port. Once we got to the island Hydra did not disappoint. Beautiful picturesque views with lots of photo ops. We enjoyed swimming and wandering the beautiful streets.

Fabulous driver & guide, Lydia. Beautiful scenery and Hydra was beautiful! Be aware you will need to purchase a boat ticket.

Excellent tour. Our tour guide Anna was outstanding sharing mythology stories with us during the tour. Her recommendations during the day were appreciated. Her warmth and charm were evident to all. Bus driver maneuvering the narrow roads up and down the mountains was outstanding. Hydra is visually amazing. You feel like you are in a Hollywood movie.. Highly recommended.

Too many hours on the bus

The daytrip was amazing, so enjoyable, informative and pleasant!!! after some busy days of exploring I wanted to still go see something new but in more of a relaxed way so this experience was perfect. the pricings were fair to the distance of the island and also the obvious cost of the ferry, along with that it was very carefully curated and held by one of the best guides I've had the chance to travel with. The driver of the bus, Goran, has been driving really well and helping in giving us the relaxing experience we needed, he also ensured everything was well cleaned and always on top. the true star of the trip was absolutely the tour guide I earlier mentioned, her name is Lydia and she's both so clearly in love with what she does and also so knowledgeable and skillful in her presentation and as to our entertainment. we got presented with a good amount of resources via a QR code in the morning but I later found it pretty useless in comparison to the cure and attention of the tour guide's recommendations and information pool. she made sure everything was perfectly in order and even when, in the morning, one of the clients had an accident when feeling bad in the bus she dealt with it with utter professionalism and perfect steadiness and took us back to normal and ready for the rest of our trip. Afterwards, when there, I joined her beautiful walking tour of the island which was an unique experience that no other guide, I feel, ever tackled so well. The experience was so interactive and not only a monologue, she made us participate and try to reason on not only the history of the place but also the choices that made the island look how it does now. focal points of the tour were on the history, architecture, habits and culture of the island and it's inhabitants. We then had time to relax and swim in a wonderful beach she recommended before going for a bite and making our way back. when tired and on our last drive home we had more time to ourselves without the guide being intrusive. On the contrary, right before our goodbye, she made sure to give us all an extensive list of recommendations for our next days in Athens by ourselves. I highly recommend this tour and other tours from this company!! The whole bus of people felt that Lydia made the experience incredibly special and not like any other but any other trip is sure to also be good!

+4

I did not expect 3 hours travel time to Hydra. There were enough breaks during the drive but if we would have taken the ferry from Athens on our own, it would have been less travel time.
