You’ll start with two overnight stays in Athens, in the lively neighbourhood Psirri. On day 2 an English speaking guide will show you the most beautiful spots by bicycle. In the afternoon you may explore Athens by yourself; we’ll give you instructions for a self-guided city walk. The next day you’ll board the excursion boat for an island tour over the blue Saronic Gulf. The first stop is in Hydra, where you may make a short circular walk through the picturesque harbour town.

Then you’ll sail on to Poros, where you’ll stay 3 nights and enjoy some walks in the lovely green landscape, with breath-taking views over Poros town and the most beautiful bays. On day 5 you may opt for the ferry to Hydra to make one or two hikes on the island.
We offer this as an option, because it’s cheaper to book the tickets yourself on the spot, the boats don’t sail every day in the lower season, and your program is more flexible this way. You may also take the whole day to do the Sferia walk or just relax at the pool or on the beach.

A ferry boat will then take you to the island of Aegina. The temple of Aphaia is definitely the jewel in the crown of this island. Aegina is also famous for pistachio nuts and you can see pistachio nut trees everywhere. There are two hikes on the island. You may also go on a fishing boat to nearby Moni or Agistri or make a bike tour in the inner land. Aegina town is lively and cosy, your hotel is a 15 minute walk from the harbour. As a matter of fact you may need more than 2 nights on Aegina! From Aegina you travel back to Piraeus by boat for a last overnight stay in Athens.

It’s a hiking tour for those who like lots of variation and need spare time to enjoy the surroundings.

About the walks
The hikes take 2 to 4¼ net walking time (i.e. without breaks). Most walks may be shortened or have a shorter alternative.
