Saronikos Gulf

Saronikos gulf

Saronikos gulf is a mix of islands that are surrounding Athens and of course Piraeus. Historically, these islands were Athens rivals, until Athens managed to rule most of the Aegean sea.

The best sea tour around Attica

During modern times, the island of Aigina was Greece’s first capital, so the first Greek museum was built there. In Salamina you can find Euripides’ cave, and a visit in Hydra and Spetses will show you why the Greek War of Independence was successful: because of the sea capital that was offered by the rich ship-owners of these two islands. So you can access these museums only by boat! But as a part of a daily or more excursion, Saronikos offers really unique options. After you reach the island, you can get to the place just by..asking a local!

Our VisitPlaka Saronikos proposal 

What we propose is either a sea tour, from Piraeus port, or even a private cruise with a motor boat. What we also recommend is an one or two days stay at Oasis Scala Beach Hotel at Agistri, next stop from Aigina island. An unknown destination for most of the people, but a real calming experience for business travellers who really want to calm down.  Send us an email to forward your request/custom tour (including our visitplaka partner discount) by clicking here.
