:: About the Saronic Islands
The islands of the Saronic Gulf are the
closest group to Athens and the favourite week-end destination
for Athenians. The Saronic Islands are not famous for their
beautiful beaches but for their picturesque villages and their
proximity to Athens. The island of Aegina has interesting
archaeological remains and is known for its production of
Pistachio. Spetses has the best beaches and Hydra is stylish
and highly cosmopolitan.
