Athens sets sail
From Piraeus and onwards, the city changes rhythm.
Within a short time, the urban landscape fades from view and the Saronic Gulf appears to guide you to the islands, each with their own history, light and personality.
Aegina, Agistri, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, Salamina, and Kythera. Seven islands, every one with a distinctive character, yet all offering that feeling of instant escape.
Minimal preparation required. Just hop on a ferry and after a short time at sea, make sure you’ve packed your desire to see Athens from another perspective.
Did you know Athens has its own islands?
Seven islands, one city as your starting point
Quick escapes to the Athens Islands
Every island has its own voice.
Aegina combines history, flavour and a nearby, comfortable escape.
Agistri puts nature centre stage, with pine trees and waters that change colour.
Poros sweeps serenely down to meet the shore with a calm pace and views that stay with you.
Hydra gives off an aristocratic air and artistic aura.
Spetses brings cosmopolitan sophistication, neoclassical architecture and lovely harbour walks.
Salamina prides itself on its historical standing and authentic everyday life.
Kythera can offer the key to a wilder, more mythical world.
Together, they create another side of Athens. An island experience that begins in the capital.
"From the energy of Athens to the serenity of the islands."
