VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

In French please!

this trip is ideal for families and eldery people. we found it a bit boring.

The cruise seemed well organised and the staff was pleasant and helpful. I would have enjoyed more time on the island of Poros as we only had 30 minutes.

The islands are very pretty and unique but bring a friend with you. The trip is one day long.

We liked the tour because if you go to Athens, you just have to visit the islands nearby since the city of Athens is not very nice (traffic, people, ...).
The island of Hydra was the nicest place of the tour. White houses on a hill (like on postcards) and a lot to see and to shop.
The second stop, Poros was not so nice. We stopped only for 30min or so and the only thing to do was to walk up the hill to a small tower which was surrounded by fences.
The last island was Aegina. For that island, we were able to book one of two tours. One tour was by bus to a cathedral or so and to the temple of Aphaia (25 EUR), the other tour was a bus trip to nice place or so (22 EUR). We booked the Aphaia tour but it was not worth it at all. They said the temple is one of the best preserved ones, but for me it looked like the ones in Athens and there was no possibility to go inside. At the entrance to the temple, not everyone got a ticket. I have no idea why, they did not want to tell us but it seems like not everyone had to pay (maybe because of the age?) so the tour guide probably just kept the money for the ones which did not need to pay...? After the temple, we went to the cathedral but we only had the chance to jump out of the bus and take some pictures from far away. The tour was more on the bus than for sightseeing. The good thing was that we got some information during the bus ride about the island.
Overall, we enjoyed the cruise because it was nice to enjoy the sun while getting around by boat. Since only one island was really nice, we should have better booked another trip. It is also to mention that we had to wait 45min to be picked up nearby the hotel in the morning (the office was not open at that time so we did not know if we get picket up at all...) and that the ship was pretty big with at least 100 people.

The tour was very good ,however because of low tide the ship was unable to sail. we were transferred to smal boats and evetually a large ship and brought back to Athens. Quite an adventure!!!
