You’ll have ample free time to explore Hydra, and enjoy its beaches and tavernas, before your return to Athens.

The owner of the company, George was amazing because we ended up not being able to do the full tour and he arranged for us to take the fast boat over to Hydra on our own. He had a car take us to the port and pick us up and arrange for our tickets on the boat. This was all very last minute and he couldn’t have been more accommodating. Thank you for providing an excellent experience!!! Highly recommend working with this company.

Better than expected

My tour with Adonis was phenomenal! I actually wanted to cancel the tour after I discovered that it would be rained out. However, Adonis put together an alternate tour experience that proved to be nothing short of amazing and saved my trip to Athens! I would highly recommend this tour company for your stay in Greece.
