 The
Gulf of Argosaronikos contains a cluster of small
islands that can be fast and easily reached by hydrofoil
from the port of Piraeus. They are considered by many to
be ideal one-day-cruise destinations, although
longer-stay vacationers also frequent them. Hydra,
Spetses, Poros, Aegina, Agistri and Salamina, the
largest of the Argosaronikos islands, have played an
important role in Greece's history since antiquity. They
have been invariably colonized and conquered by many due
to their privileged location in the sea between Athens
and the Peloponnese. The Argosaronikos islands share
many common features such as beautiful beaches,
picturesque coastline villages, winding cobblestone
streets, romantic sunsets and exciting nightlife;
however, each one of them has managed to maintain its
own special charm and character. |
