Ferry from Athens to Saronic Islands

About Saronic Islands

The Saronic Islands are a Greek archipelago just off the Peloponnese peninsula in the Aegean’s Saronic Gulf. Situated close to Athens, these islands are popular amongst Greeks for daytrips and weekend getaways. Comprising Salamina, Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, Dokos and Agistri, each island has a unique feel. Aegina has spectacular temples and historic sites, Angistri is blanketed by lush forests and offers total tranquillity, particularly outside the high season, Salamina has a port dating back to the 4th Century, while the others boast exquisite beaches, idyllic towns and hidden coves speckled along the coastline. The Saronic Islands are extremely well served by ferry, offering frequent, high-speed sailings every day to numerous locations on the Greek mainland. There are also plenty of ferry routes within the archipelago itself, all operated by one of the country’s leading ferry companies.
