The Saronic Islands, which are located in the Saronic Gulf of the same name, are excellent day destinations for your luxury yacht charter from Athens. Impressive sandy beaches, abandoned islands and a rich history make this region a very popular sailing area. This charter region includes the islands of Salamina, Aegina, Angistri, Poros, Hydra, Spetses and the Methana peninsula. You could explore the Saronic Islands with your luxury yacht in only one week!
For example, on the Island of Aegina, which is only about 18 nm from Athens, you can find some small harbors with numerous shops and excellent fish restaurants. Pistachio lovers will also get their money's worth here, as pistachio trees find optimal growing conditions on this island. A highlight of Aegina is the temple of Aphaia. It is one of the most preserved Doric temples (from the 5th century AD) you can find in Greece. If you are generally enthusiastic about archeology, the Saronic Islands are an interesting place to go during your luxury charter!
You can also find the famous amphitheater of Epidaurus (UNESCO World Heritage Site) in the nearby town of Epidaurus, which is located on the Peloponnese. Don`t miss to visit the amphitheater, which is used for many performances during summer. Be aware to take care of a ticket in time, the demand for seats is often quite large!
