Greece Part II - Greek Islands

This was the hightlight of the entire Greece trip. We blew 65 Euros to get on a cruise boat to 3 islands on a day trip - Poros, Hydra, Aegina - but it was well worth it. These were one of the closest islands to Athens but there were more beautiful ones farther out. If i'd ever go back again, i'd spend a month there island hopping..and swim in the clear blue seas during summer.


Woke up 5.30am in the morning. It was about 8 am when we got on the ship. One of the first views we had when the ship set sail. Keep scrolling, it only gets better.

I know i look retarded, but the view in the background will make up for it





we have arrived on Poros!



Giorgis..you float my boat!





view from the clock tower


the water, like a piece of satin







The inclusive lunch on board the ship. There was also salad and appetiser, but i was too hungry to remember to take pictures =p


Dessert was saccharine sweet.


Island #2...Hydras.


Crystal clear waters.





We took the path less travelled


And found an amazing view







The whole time, we were just gushing over how great the place looked



Hanging loose at the ship's bow.



Last stop was Aegina, which was a bit of a letdown after seeing Hydra and Poros. Perhaps it was because we didn't pay for the optional tour further within Aegina to see the ancient structures. But we weren't keen on spending another 24 Euros to be ferried around on a bus. Still, it's a really photogenic place where i took some of the best pictures from the whole trip, all thanks to the timely sunset.



I was pleasantly surprised...to see girls playing soccer. Soccer babes i miss you!












I couldn't chose between these three pictures, so im putting all of them up. If u have a personal favourite, lemme know cos im really curious.
