Islands for a Day Trip in Athens Area

[xmelissaa]

I am now starting to think that Athens area is a good location for a getaway for me and my girlfriends. It seems like the Athens are has everything that we need, plus it's easy to get around without renting a car.

We are interested in going on a boat for a day trip and visiting an island - maybe using that to visit a beach that is a bit further away. Does anyone have recommendations? I have heard Hydra is easy to get to from Piraeus for the day.

I would definitely recommend a trip to Hydra - you can look at Ferry schedules when they're released for the year. Also, there are some "cruises" that have you hit a few islands over the course of the whole day, giving you a few hours at each.
