Saronic Gulf

The Saronikos Islands are located just a few miles away from Athens and are well protected from strong winds because of their natural geography. History’s footprint is very strong in most of Saronikos islands. Canons that can be seen across most islands and famous monuments of the Greek war of independence in 1821 compose a unique scenery.

1. Athens - Alimos

Past and present intermingle in Greece’s capital city. A location that’s much more than just a stop-off point to a destination, merging the mountain, the sea and the city at your fingertips.

2. Aigina

You can moor either to the small, picturesque port of Perdika or sail further towards the west coast to Aegina’s main port. Don’t miss a visit to the local fish market, where you can taste Greek delicacies and the worldwide famous Aegina pistachio.

3. Ydra

“the queen of the Saronic Gulf”, is built amphitheatrically around the port, combining nature and architecture. Stroll through the town’s picturesque cobble stone streets and imposing houses and let “the queen” captivate you.

4. Spetses

an island boasting a long naval tradition. Whitewashed, neoclassical buildings, secluded beaches, crystal clear waters and pine-clad hills form a scenery that seems to come directly from an old tale

5. Dokos

It has, since the ancient years, considered to be a strategic location. On the east side lie the ruins of a great Byzantine – Venetian Castle. During the Middle Ages, the island served as a refuge for Albanian settlers’ animals.[

6. Poros

Divided from the mainland by a very narrow crossing, Poros resembles a puzzle piece gone missing from the Peloponnese opposite. Pine forests reaching the sea, neoclassical buildings, quaint shops and taverns, whitewashed houses wrapped in bougainvilleas create the perfect holiday scenery.

7. Agkistri

is the smallest island of the Saronic Gulf. With its extraordinary natural setting and mesmerizing beaches, Agistri will win you over.
