Saronic Islands and Peloponnesian Coast Suggested Itineraries
 The
islands situated in the Saronic Gulf southwest of Athens are
among the most beautiful and interesting of all the Greek
islands. They are favorites close to one another, usually within
a two or three hour sail. Long stretches of sandy beaches,
fragrant pine forest, and rocky capes against a backdrop of
brilliant sunshine and crystal blue water provide an infinite
variety of scenic beauty.
The
cultures and people are as varied as the settings, luring
visitors with pottery, sponges, pistachios, and almond cakes,
which are available at shops and restaurants along the narrow,
winding streets of the island towns. There are busy cosmopolitan
islands as well as quiet unspoilt secluded islands. The seafood
is deliciously fresh and the highlights of this itinerary are
the schools of dolphins which will accompany you from island to
island, jumping over the bow as you go.!
