Agistri - Saronic Gulf
Another jewel of the Saronic Gulf, it is located in the center of the bay, on your way to Epidaurus in the Peloponnese.
Although the island's population decreases sharply after the summer, it hardly loses any of its charm.

Poros Saronic Gulf
Heading southwest, you will pass by Poros, where you can enjoy Greek cuisine, an overnight stay under the Mediterranean stars or simply a refreshing swim.
Hydra - Saronic
You will find the cosmopolitan island of Hydra, a “car-free island”, perhaps the most visited in the Argosaronic Gulf. In the distance of the beautiful harbor, you will find yourself walking through the narrow and winding alleys, where you will discover many traditional taverns with delicious food and wine, many bars, as well as an impeccable view of the harbor to admire.
Next to Hydra, Dokos, a small, uninhabited island famous for what is perhaps the oldest shipwreck, can offer an ideal anchorage for an overnight stay.
Spetses - Saronic
A little further down the path, at the entrance to the Argolic Gulf of the Peloponnese, you will find the historic island of Spetses which played a decisive role in the revolution during the Greco-Turkish War of the 19th century.
