Family Friendly Islands Near Athens

We would like to do a sailing trip from Athens with my children (8 and 12 years old). Are there any islands nearby that are worth visiting? And if so, are there any kid- friendly sailing trips from Athens?

That's a great question! We recently researched this and created an article on the Best Islands Near Athens for Families with Kids. Many of these islands are less than two hours away, either by ferry or private tour, making them quick and easy to get to. Here are our favorite islands near Athens for families:

  1. Hydra
  2. Poros
  3. Kea
  4. Spetses
  5. Aegina

For more information on each of these islands, check out our full guide here. When it comes to your second question, yes; we do organize day trips to Hydra and Aegina. But since you are interested in exploring more than one island on a sailing trip, you can also take a look at our 3 Islands Day Cruise from Athens – Family Day Cruise

During this great tour you and your kids will have the opportunity to explore Aegina, Moni and Agistri, in about 10 hours! Let me know if you are interested in this or any of our other sailing tours by emailing me at info@kidslovegreece.com.
