- 18:30 - Sunset & Stars Cruise: A romantic boat ride in the sunset, with Greek wine, while being serenaded by our band with the soft sounds piano, cello & soft voice.
Sunset & Stars
For the first time in Hydra, we are arranging trips around the island during the sunset and evening time, especially for our romantic guests who wish to enjoy a starry night by the sea. Our cruise begins after 18:30 in the evening, depending on the sunset time.
Enjoy the sunset with a glass of chilled wine of your choice, and marvel at the amazing view, with a soft background of jazz, local folk "entehno" or classical music. Almost every weekend, we organize live music nights on the boat. We invite small bands playing piano, cello, and singing to offer you the most pleasant evenings.
Island's Round Trip
Our journey starts from the port of Hydra. Starting our trip, we will pass from "Kasteva" and if the weather conditions permit us, we will make a stop at the area called "Nero". Leaving “Nero” you will have the chance to enjoy a tour of one of the oldest lighthouses in Greece, the "Zourvas" lighthouse.
Following our route, we head towards the cliffs of "Agios Ioannikios", where you will have the opportunity to see a breathtaking landscape of tall cliffs, so steep that some say it is like they are sliced with a knife. On the edge of the cliffs, there is the hermitage of "Agios Ioannikios". This area is often compared to Acapulco, and our adventurous guests can dive from the high cliffs.
Island's Round Trip
Shortly before our main stop, provided the weather conditions allow us, we will explore the seabed within the “Secret Cave”, also known as the “Daskalakis Cave”. Visitors can swim in the cave, discovering the purple seaweed of the seabed.
The next stop will be at “Limnioniza”, where you can go ashore and enjoy the sun. You will have time for bathing and relaxing. Limimonza is known for the clarity of the waters and the white pebbles along the beach. During our stop, you can enjoy sunbathing or relaxing with the music on our boat.
Departing from “Limnioniza”, we will head south, and before we reach our next stop, we will pass through and respectfully observe the small caves, where the seals give birth.
