Tour Options

Most agencies run tour excursions at about the same prices, but CHAT and Key Tours have the best service and guides. A full-day cruise from Piraeus, with either CHAT or Key Tours, visits Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, and costs around €98 (including buffet lunch on the ship). Karagiannis Klimi Travel on Aegina and Hydreoniki Travel on Hydra also offer local tours.
