SARONIC
ISLANDS - GREECE
The Saronic chain is the most accessible group of islands to Athens.
If you want to experience the magic of the Greek Islands you may be surprised
to know that you can reach Poros in less than one hour from the capital.
You will find that many Greeks take short weekend breaks to the Saronic
Islands. Each island is also very close to the Peloponnese mainland so
if you hire a car you can visit legendary sites such as Mycenae, Nafplion,
Epidavros and Arcadia.
AEGINA
The Athenians favorite weekend haunt and well worth a quick visit
as journey time is only one hour from Athens. Not too overrun with tourists
even in the height of the season and site of the beautiful Temple of Aphaia.
