Saronic Greek Islands - Greece
Greece, featured many of times in Condé Nast’s awards list, ranks in the top 20 countries of travel destinations.
With over 6,000 islands spread throughout the Ionian and Aegean seas, the most popular array of islands is divided into 5 groups: Cyclades, Ionian, Sporades, Dodecanese and Saronic. Saronic Islands Yacht Charter is one of the most beautiful charters available in Greece.
The Saronic Gulf Islands are those closest to Athens and very popular amongst the locals because of this, especially on the weekends. Although not among the most famous destinations for tourists, these islands are the perfect luxury charter yacht getaway for a near trip from Athens.
As with all Greek islands, each of the Saronic islands included in the Saronic Islands Yacht Charter has a unique feel and culture, so you can alternate between classical heritage, resort beaches, exquisite architecture and remote escapism.
Aegina is home to a spectacular Doric temple of Aphaea, while nearby pine-clad Agkistri is protected and peaceful outside of the booming midsummer months. The Saronic showpiece, Hydra, is a gorgeous car-free island with grey-stone mansions and Byzantine-tiled vernacular houses. Hydra has attracted the artists and fashion buffs since the 1950’s. It is one of the few islands declared an Architectural Heritage Reserve, which has helped Hydra retain its original beauty through strict building controls and the banning of most motorized vehicles. Pine-scented Spetses has a vibrant nautical history and pretty town architecture. Take a romantic trip around the island in horse-drawn carriages and admire the grand mansions adorning the narrow, cobbled streets of the island.
Hydra: A Car-Free Oasis
Hydra is a unique gem among the Saronic Islands, known for its prohibition of motor vehicles. This car-free policy preserves its serene atmosphere, allowing visitors to explore its cobbled streets by foot, donkey, or water taxi. The island is a magnet for artists and creatives, hosting numerous art galleries and cultural events. The stunning Hydra Harbor, lined with chic cafes and stone mansions, offers a picture-perfect welcome. Hydra’s coastal trails lead to secluded beaches like Vlichos and Kaminia, where crystal-clear waters and breathtaking views await. Don’t miss the vibrant sunset as you dine al fresco along the harbor.
Poros: A Romantic Retreat
Poros enchants visitors with its lush landscapes, serene beaches, and neoclassical charm. The island is split into two sections, with the town on one side and a verdant forested area on the other, creating a scenic haven. Explore the Poros Clock Tower, a landmark offering panoramic views of the azure sea and the surrounding islands. The waterfront promenade is lined with cozy tavernas, boutique shops, and vibrant bars, making it a lively spot for both day and night. Nearby, the sheltered Love Bay is a favorite anchorage for yachts, boasting turquoise waters surrounded by pine trees that extend down to the shore.
Spetses: The Island of Elegance
Spetses seamlessly blends traditional Greek culture with an upscale, cosmopolitan vibe. This island has a storied naval history, celebrated annually during the Armata Festival, a reenactment of a naval battle complete with fireworks. The Old Harbor (Palio Limani) is the heart of Spetses’ nightlife, with stylish cocktail bars and waterfront restaurants offering fresh seafood. Explore the island’s natural beauty by bike or horse-drawn carriage, passing through pine-covered hills and pristine beaches like Agia Paraskevi and Vrellos. For luxury seekers, Spetses is a haven of boutique hotels, high-end shops, and gourmet dining experiences.
