Ferry from Saronic Islands to Greece

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.

About Greece

Greece is one of the world’s most visited countries. With the Aegean Sea to the East of the mainland, the Ionian Sea to the West, the Mediterranean Sea to the South and a vast number of islands, Greece boasts some 16,000 kilometres of coastline. Greece is a country rich with diversity, from its mountainous mainland to the stunning islands with their whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches. Many of the Greek beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag, while the country’s rich history and legacy has left it with 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Greek mainland is easily reached by ferry across the Adriatic Sea from Italy while domestically, due to the sheer number of islands, there are many ferry companies and a range of services on offer. The majority of the domestic ferries are modern, though the class of ferry differs based on the journey type. The longer routes are served by conventional passenger ferries, while the shorter inter island routes are served by high speed catamarans and hydrofoils.
