The Saronic Islands from Athens
The Saronic Gulf islands are within 90 minutes of Piraeus by private boat. Hydra (no motor vehicles, cobblestoned lanes, whitewashed architecture) is the most stylish island day trip available from Athens. Spetses offers pine forests, colonial mansions, and horse-drawn carriages. Aegina produces 80% of Greece pistachios and houses the Temple of Aphaia (490 BC). FFGR Greece coordinates private caique or motor launch from Piraeus or Zea Marina with ground transport at every stop.
