| An interesting little harbour where we met the boat |
Athens in fact the whole region was extremely hot and definitely not wandering weather. So we decided to take a one day cruise to 3 of the islands in the Saronic Gulf - Hydra, Poros, Aegina. I think we regretted the decision when we saw the vessel and the crowds pouring onto it - I had images of media reports of a ferry sinking in Greece.. It was crowded and very noisy!

| First stop Hydra |
Hydra and Poros were quite quaint tourist spots and we wandered a little in spite of the heat. Lunch was included and we were herded into an over crowded area. The food was OK and plentiful. By the time we got to Aegina, the largest of the islands we’d had it. Unfortunately, the stop there was a long one; we chose to stay onboard and read as the options all cost extra and didn’t interest us anyway. Rather a wasted day in many respects but a good lesson.

| The harbour is steep sided |
 |
| We discovered an art exhibition - quite interesting work |
 |
| There are no motor vehicles on Hydra |
 |
| Poros is a larger island and has vehicles - very touristy |
 |
| The sign says "Stop Fish Farms" |
It was so hot when we got back to Athens that a number of food outlets had closed. We were relieved to get back to our hotel.
