The Saronic Gulf is ideal for individuals who love easy and relaxed sailing. The islands there are famous for their natural beauty and historical sites.
Athens is an excellent starting point for exploring the Saronic Islands. Even if the check-in time is 17:00, there is no need to spend the night at the marina. Every day counts on a 7-day journey. Make the most of the evening by setting sail towards the island of Aegina, which is the closest to Athens.
Aegina is famous for its pistachios and is home to the Aphaia Athena Temple. It has a range of beautiful beaches and excellent local tavernas. Aegina Town, on the island's west coast, serves as its principal capital and harbor.
Spend the night and enjoy the town from its waterfront. Beautiful neoclassical structures may be seen here, as well as the house where Nikos Kazantzakis composed the well-known Zorba the Greek.

Island hopping
What could be more enjoyable than island hopping at your leisure? Since you are not bound by ferry schedules or public transportation, you may create your own timetable.
