Saronic Islands located in the Saronic Gulf hence the name, is an archipelago that many travelers like to include in their list of Greece Vacations because of its proximity to mainland Greece and the amazing array of activities it offers to its visitors. Aegina is a splendid day tour destination right from Athens and is one of the islands that still display touches of old Greece that you can enjoy either on a bike or on foot which will surely give you an appetite for seafood at Agia Marina a resort town favored on weekends by mainland Greeks. Having no beach is not a hindrance to Hydras fame as tourist destination which lures in many to its fully restored and preserved 1800s architecture; a somewhat surprisingly pleasant contrast to a busy nightlife. Poros Island is no more than an hour away from Athens and they offer the same accommodations to guests but here its much closer to nature as thick forests extend even up to its shores where lovely resorts can be found. If youre looking for other places to visit in Greece but dont want to travel far, the Saronic Islands is perfect for you.

Greece Vacations and Dodecanese Islands
