The route

Our journey starts from the port of Hydra.

Starting out trip we will pass form “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. 

Cliffside Wonders and the Hermitage of Agios Ioannikios

Following our roote, 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.
