2The Saronic Gulf
For sailors departing from Athens, the Saronic Gulf offers a fantastic sailing route with short distances between islands, calm waters, and rich history. Aegina is just a short sail from Athens and is known for its pistachio groves, ancient temples, and lively waterfront. Poros, with its charming town and relaxing beaches, is another great stop. One of the highlights of the Saronic Gulf is Hydra, a car-free island where donkeys are the main mode of transport. The island’s stunning harbor and stone mansions create a unique and romantic atmosphere.
