island day trips from Athens (Is Mykonos possible?)
We are ending a 13 day cruise in Athens (one day on the boat in Athens) and staying for 2 extra nights at the Bretagne. We're hoping to have some time to see some of the islands (I know there's a day trip that takes you to Hydra, Aegina and Poros all in one day) but I was wondering if it's possible to also get to Mykonos and back in a day??? Any Suggestions?

I don't see how Mykonos is doable in a day. You would have to fly, so it's really not worth the time, trouble and expense. A good day trip I can recommend would be Dephi. It's not an island, but it is easily doable from Athens and quite enjoyable.

Theoretically it's possible. Use www.gtp.gr to see what's available coming and going on your chosen dates.

There are ships that go to Mikonos and back in a day, but you wouldn't have any time there. The ships normally call at Siros and Tinos, so you could have time ashore there.
If you want a day trip, the best option is to take one of the frequent ferries to Aiyina ("Aegina"
or Poros. These islands are close to Athens, but still very attractive and surprisingly peaceful.
