Cruises

Cruises from Athens

Two categories: day cruises (easy, low-planning) and multi-day cruises (departing Piraeus). Choose the format that fits your timeline.

Day cruises and island hops are usually the fastest win for short stays.

Sea Days Day trips

Day cruises (book like an experience)

If you’re short on time, this is the sweet spot: Hydra/Poros/Aegina-style cruises, Riviera sailing, and “one day – many photos” options.

Day cruises and island hops are the easiest “wow” add‑on for short stays. Pick one and keep the rest of the trip simple.

If you’re staying under 5 nights, choose a day cruise. If you have more time, multi‑day departures from Piraeus make sense.
