6th day: If Greece means sun, see breeze, small ports with colorful fish-boats, pure Mediterranean tastes and folkloric dances, today you will get a strong taste of Greece! All you need today is your comfortable shoes to walk the islands and dance next to the professional dancers in original costumes, from all over Greece and your camera to capture the beauty of these three Greek islands. Hydra is a classy and romantic island. The fine and well preserved stone houses, the deep blue waters and the small paved streets where the vehicles are not allowed have inspired even Picasso. Poros at the first sight looks like a vintage island with neoclassical buildings and yacht marinas but walking through the narrow alleyways, whitewashed houses with blue windows and climbing bougainvilleas coming out and the scenery turns into a Cycladic carte-postal. Aegina is the biggest from the Saronic islands, famous for its amazing pistachios and rich in culture and history as it was the first capital of Greece. In current times this little island offers ancient historic and religious sites and at the same time delicious sea food dishes in traditional fish taverns and unique pastry recopies, all based on the local PDO pistachios. The uniqueness of this cruise is that the Greek “aroma” does not ends with the visiting and the exploring of the islands but continues with the same passion on board through a rich buffet with all representative Greek tastes and dishes and the Greek style fest from the professional dancers. Join them!

7th day: Free time in Athens and transfer to the airport for your home flight. End of services.
