Flying Dolphins

Conner and I finally got the hell out of Athens. We took the metro down to the port and hopped on a hydrofoil to Agistri, a small island in the Argo-Saronics, about an hour from Athens. I've never been on a hydrofoil before and frankly, had no clue what it was. It's pretty cool, engineerically speaking, and feels much like a little putter plane on water-fast but with a little turbulence.


The much slower Hellenic Sea car ferry also makes daily trips to Agistri, and costs half as much. We were operating under the sentiment, "Get me out of Athens as fast as possible!", and thus opted for the Flying Dolphin hydrofoil which gets here in under and hour for 12 euros a person.
