Just a short distance from Athens, the Saronic Gulf Islands offer a glimpse of Greek island life. As with all Greek islands, each one has a unique feel and culture, so you can hop between classical heritage, pristine beaches, delicious local gastronomy, exquisite architecture and friendly locals.
Poros
A well-kept secret - Poros is comprised of two islands, Sphairia and Kalavria, of which the former is a volcanic rock and the latter planted with pine trees. The island is easily accessible from the Port of Piraeus. The history, sights, lively waterfront adorned with shops, cosy cafes and restaurants, grand traditional mansions, picturesque, cobbled streets, lush pines trees, vegetation and crystal-clear beaches make it a rewarding picturesque capital for all visitors.
Hydra
The breathtaking Hydra is a Greek island where wheeled vehicles are not permitted. Embark on a full-day excursion to Hydra, one of the most cosmopolitan islands in the Aegean Sea and wander around the picturesque town filled with red-tiled houses and stone-paved narrow alleys.
Aegina
Beyond its bustling port, Aegina has the seductive, easy-going character of a typical Greek island but with the bonus of more than its fair share of prestigious ancient sites. Special Aegina treats include a fabulous type of pistachio nut, the splendid 5th century Temple of Aphaia and the magical Byzantine Paleohora ruins.
