Aegina, Agkistri, Spetses, Hydra, Poros, Salamina and the peninsula of Methana form the island complex of the Saronic Islands in southern Greece. Sprinkled over the Argosaronic Gulf and steeped in ancient mythology, these islands are small havens in close proximity to Athens. The hospitality of Greeks living in this area is always welcoming and cheerful while dining at any restaurant is always a delight and usually followed by some locally distilled drink!
Small distances between the islands, easy provisioning options, trees touching the sea shore and a good choice of natural bays make Saronic Islands a perfect region for sailing. On the horizon we spot villages of whitewashed houses, ancient olive grows as well as impressive monuments of the great prehistoric civilization that flourished here for thousands of years.
