Why people love it

• Island hopping. Few cruising grounds combine history, scenery and accessibility like the Saronic Gulf. Within a short sail from Athens you find islands like Hydra and Spetses where cars are replaced by donkeys, elegant neoclassical architecture lines the harbours, and seaside tavernas overlook crystal-clear anchorages.
• Stylish. The Saronic islands deliver much of the same glamour found in Mykonos or the Cyclades but with a more relaxed rhythm. Chic beach clubs, boutique hotels and vibrant waterfront restaurants create the perfect balance between luxury and authenticity.
