Greek Islands Cruise

Hello Everyone!

I'll just start off by saying today was an amazing day! We began our day by catching a bus to the Athens docks to catch our cruise ship for our Greek Islands Cruise. Once our ship left the docks we had an orientation to explain the days events. Once orientation was done Kathleen and I signed up for the swimming tour later in the day and then explored the ship for a while until we reached the first island.

The island of Hydra was our favorite of the day. As we had hoped for the previous day we got to go swimming! We swam and jumped off a small cliff the whole time we were at the island. The water was so clear you could see right to the bottom. After a great swim and a lot of fun we got back on the ship and had a buffet lunch. When we were finished our delicious lunch we relaxed for a bit until we reached the second island of Poros. Poros was a very short stay of about 45 minutes. Our whole time there consisted of eating ice cream and buying more sunscreen. When we left the docks of Poros we headed to the last island of the day, the island of Egina. At Egina we took a motor boat over to a smaller private island for more swimming and sitting on the beach. After a lot more swimming we got back on the motor boat and went back to Egina to catch the cruise ship back to Athens. It was beautiful to see the Greek coast line on the horizon as we arrived back in Athens.

We then left the cruise ship, got back on the bus, and arrived back in central Athens. We had supper at a little pasta place and then went back to the hostel. Tomorrow we start a two day tour to Meteora and Delphi. Can't wait!

Till next time,
Rocky
