Day 14 – Friday, May 17: Greek Island Cruise Day to Hydra, Poros, Aegina
Our last day here in Greece was a fun one! We enjoyed a one-day cruise on a small ferry ship on the Aegean Sea! The weather was overcast once again (with a few brighter moments), with cooler temps in the morning (especially with the breeze on the ship) but warmer temps in the afternoon. The high temp reached the mid 70s. It did actually shower a little on our last leg back on the ship.
Hydra, Poros, Aegina
Following breakfast we boarded the bus and drove to Piraeus, Athen’s harbor (Paul probably sailed into this area from the north). Our agent Aris accompanied us for the entire day. Throughout the day we visited three islands, Hydra, Poros, and Aegina. These destinations are the classic Greek islands with spectacular beautiful! We got off at each of these these quaint ports and explored on our own. We experienced a close-up taste of Greek culture, food, and shopping. It was a relaxing day before our long flight hoe tomorrow morning.
About 8:30 p.m. we returned to our hotel in Athens for dinner and overnight. We leave really early (3 a.m.) for our flight to Rome and then back to the U.S.
“We really enjoyed this last day of our Israel-Greece trip. We traveled to three Greek islands, each of them different. It gave us a good taste of the beauty of these islands. The day was relaxing and laid back. It is bitter-sweet that this amazing trip now comes to an end.”
Day 15 – Saturday, May 18: Flight Home from Athens, Arrival back in the U.S.
