re: Greek Island Before Cruise from Athens
Posted by geauxpurple on 4/21/26 at 4:59 am to LSUfan4444
We were in Santorini yesterday. It is a beautiful place. The weather was perfect and the town was not crowded at all this early in the season.
We did have to take a tender boat and a 40 minute bus ride, but it was well worth it.
Right now I am sitting on the site of the original Olympic games. Olympia.

I hate to say this but I think we are beyond the point for must wins.

A short report in case anyone is interested in Hydra.
I am on the ferry now heading to Pireaus after 2 1/2 days in Hydra. It is a beautiful and relaxing place.
Hotel Leto is an excellent hotel just a short walk from the harbor.
Piato is a top notch seafood restaurant right on the harbor front.
Last night we ate at Omilos at an outdoor table with a view of the town on one side and the waves crashing against the rocks on the other. Delicious food and great ambience.
I am glad we chose Hydra for this short stay before our cruise.

The revenue sharing, while not completely insignificant, is only a small piece of the pie.

If you are by the Lancaster Gate entrance to Kensington Gardens, there is an old and historic pub called The Swan. Twice I have stayed at hotels on that block and The Swan was one of our hangouts.

I am vacationing in Greece right now. Two nights ago I had a plate of fresh grilled sardines with tomatoes and onions at a good seafood restaurant. It is not something I get very often but it was delicious.

Bump to update.
We ended up choosing Hydra and are there right now. We arrived Wednesday afternoon by ferry from Pireaus, the port for Athens and will return to Pireaus on Saturday to board a cruise ship.
Hydra is a nice little place. The town is quaint. There are no private vehicles on the island but everything is within walking distance, unless you choose to ride a donkey.
I don’t see a real beach and there is very little nightlife, but there is activity along the waterfront with many shops, cafes and restaurants.
The reason we picked Hydra is because it is so easy to travel to and from there from Pireaus where we have to get back to on Saturday to board the ship.
Maybe on another trip we will have more time to stay on one of the bigger islands farther away, but for this trip I am glad to be on Hydra. It may not be for everyone, but we really like it here.
