Saronic Gulf Islands
Located a stone's throw away from Athens and the Peloponnese
Peninsula, the Saronic Gulf Islands are wildly popular as weekend
holiday destinations for Greeks. Crowded to the point of madness in
the peak July and August season, the islands of the Saronic Gulf
are also gaining popularity with American and British tourists
looking for a quick island getaway while on holiday in the Greek
mainland.
The most popular islands in the Saronic Gulf are Aegina, Poros,
Hydra and Spetses, although lesser-known islands like Agistri,
Salamis, Patroklou, Vleves and Dokos have their own charms.
Day cruises from Athens' port of Piraeus shuttle tourists back
and forth with daily service to many ports, making getting to the
Saronic Gulf Islands incredibly easy. Package tours stop at as many
as three islands per day, however these can be rushed and leave
visitors unsatisfied with only a cursory glance at the diverse
towns and landscapes in the islands.
