sueswny Posted February 9, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2010 What day trip would be a good choice from Athens, other than Corinth/Nauplion? Maybe a day trip to one of the islands (other than Santorini/Delos/Mykonos)?? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted February 9, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Ferry to Aegina or Poros. On the fast ferry (flying dolphin or cat), it's an hour to Aegina, probably another half hour to Poros. Poros Town is wonderful just to walk around, have a nice seaside lunch.

CintiPam Posted February 9, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Some people go to Delphi, a wonderful destination, for the day but it is a very long daytrip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TLCOhio Posted February 9, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Some people go to Delphi, a wonderful destination, for the day but it is a very long daytrip! Agree with my fellow Ohioan, Pam, that Delphi would be a good option to consider. We debated back and forth on that option versus the Corinth/Nauplion routing. We went for the later based on the variety of different things we would and could see and do. It depends on your personal interests. From what I have read, both are excellent and world-class. Either can work well. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
world_traveler_et Posted February 12, 2010 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Another good web site to check out is http://gogreece.about.com. I believe this is a Greek tourism web site. Excellent information on things to see in Greece and a wealth of information regarding all forms of public transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s almost impossible to take a day trip from Athens to Mykonos (including Delos) or to Santorini, unless you leave very early in the morning and take the last evening flight to come back. I agree with the other posters about Delphi and I would say that it’s probably one of the “must see” places in Greece if your time allows it. I visited Delphi some 12 years ago and the archaeological site was most impressive. If I remember correctly it took us about 2.5 hours to get there and the drive was very scenic.
