At about one hour away from the port of Piraeus and equally accessible by land, Poros, part of the Saronic Gulf islands along with Salamina, Aegina, Agistri, Hydra and Spetses, is an idyllic weekend destination for Greeks and visitors alike.
Hydra is an island known all over the world for its picturesque town - the subject of innumerable paintings - and for being a cosmopolitan holiday destination and choice of summer home for writers, artists, and refined jet-setters since the 50s.
Aegina, an island in the middle of the Saronic Gulf and in the vicinity of Salamina, Agistri, Poros, Methana, and, further out, Hydra and Spetses, is the second closest island to Athens.
