Aegina island
photo by Jorge Láscar

A beautiful collection of islands in the Gulf of Saronic, easy accessibility from Piraeus. The islands kept the traditional Greek atmosphere despite their popularity.

Islands

Aegina

the closest island from Athens, and the most accessible, best known for the high quality of the pistachios.

Hydra

one of the most cosmopolitan points in the Mediterranean, rapidly becoming a tourist center at an international level.

Spetstes

a lovely island, maybe the most beautiful of all, with sandy beaches dotted with green pine trees and surrounded by azure waters.

Poros

a volcanic island, formed by the union of two smaller islands, a great weekend getaway especially for Greeks, being very close to Athens.

Beside these four islands, which are the most important and most visited, there are three more small islands: Angistri, Methana and Salamina.
