Poros
island lays right in the middle of the Saronic Gulf, 32 miles from Athens.
The
Island of Poros revolves in cubistic planes, one of walls and windows,
one of rocks and goats, one of stiff blown trees and shrubs and so on.
Yonder, where the mainland curves like a whip, lie the wild lemon groves
and there in the spring young and old go mad from the fragrance of sap
and blossom.
Visitors
to Poros, immediately become witnesses to a strip of crystal clear waters,
fringed by scenery that is blessed by mother-nature.
Poros
Island looks like a simple prolongation of Peloponesse, since the isthmus
that separates it from the Mainland of Peloponesse is narrow. You get
a feeling that Poros is a small Vosporus. You enter the harbor of Poros
swaying and swirling, a gentle idiot tossed about amidst masts and nets
in a world which only the painter knows.
To
sail slowly through the
streets of Poros is to recapture the joy of passing through the neck of
the womb. It is a joy too deep almost to be remembered.
While
staying on Poros Island you can easily visit the Peloponnese mainland,
ready to explore Nafplion, one of the most beautiful towns inGreece, the
ancient Mycenae, as well as the Epidavros village and the most famous
theatre all over the world, the Ancient theatre of Epidavros. From Poros
you can also visit Aegina Island, Hydra Island and less than an hour on
the Hydrofoil for a daily tour to Spetses.
POROS
ISLAND, apart from its own beauty, gives good reasons to anyone who might
want to visit Athens, Peloponnese and the Aegean Islands, and at the same
time avoid staying in Athens. If you plan to visit Greece, to see the
islands and the major archeological sites, Poros is the greatest Athens
alternative.
Hydra
Island - The cosmopolitan island
Hydra,
the small island of Saronic Gulf possesses a particularly honorary place
between the tourist islands of Country, if in deed someone
thinks how small it is. Hardly 55 square klm extent and from population…
thousands each summertime (permanent roughly 2.000).
The
capital Hydra fascinates with the graphic architecture and its countless
historical mansions.
Green and full of flowers always with the air of the island, demonstrates
with pride stoned "villas” of the past, churches, monasteries,
fantastic view and unique beaches.
And all these, in… very "compact" dimensions and with
big movement.
Beautiful is considered by all, the full of life, harbor.
The
capital of Hydra, is a town that startle with its plenitude in all sectors.
The nightly amusement and the movement during summertime (where
also the island is transformed…) is amazing , the market is full
of tourists, the choices for food , coffee, drink unlimited and qualitative,
while the hotel units abundant as the beaches.
Particularity
(for most pleasant), constitutes the entire lack of all kind of vehicles
in the island, that is substituted by tens of caiques , donkeys and
horse carriages.
There
are many beautiful beaches on the island of Hydra that worth a visit.
Two of the most known though are Mandraki, which is 2 km east from Hydra
town, and it is the old shipbuilding docks of the Hydriots, is the island's
only real sandy beach. Vlihos is a pretty small hamlet with a rocky
beach, a picturesque 19th century bridge, tavernas and a few rooms.
Aegina
Island - A Favourite Summer Resort
Aegina
island located in Saronic Gulf, only 17,5 nautical miles from Piraeus
(Athens Port) and is the ideal place for weekend or a daily cruise but
and a favourite summer resort.
Aegina
Island, is a rugged island with lots of sandy coves perfect for swimming,
while shelter is provided by oaks, cypresses and wild olive trees rather
than the usual pines.
The
capital of Aegina, is Aegina town. It is worth a visit - its splendid
neo-classical buildings around the waterfront are reminders of the town's
former status.
The
sunsets are spectacular in Aegina island and you can watch the local
fisherman tinker with their boats and mend their nets at any time of
day. Beyond the row of shops and tavernas you will see the marina, where
the caiques (wooden sailing boats) double as market stalls, crammed
with fresh fruit and vegetables.
Apart
from antiquities, Aegina island has much to offer in the way of sandy
beaches for sun worshippers and swimming enthusiasts, along with delightful
fishing villages, and a richly varied landscape.
South
of Aegina town, is the seaside village of Marathon, followed by the
fishing port of Perdika (9 km.). From Perdika small boats ferry visitors
to the picturesque islets of Angistri and Moni, ideal spots for enjoying
nature, solitude and relaxing pursuits.
The
Island's most important archeological site is located on the east of
the island near Agia Marina where the temple of Aphaia, a very ancient
goddess once patroness of Egina, is situated. The first temple was erected
in 570 B.C and destroyed some sixty years later. The Temple of Afea,
is even older than the Parthenon in Acropolis of Athens, but is remarkably
well preserved. Around the Temple are the remains of the priests' quarters
and precinct walls.
Aegina
island, is ideal base for your holiday, as it is very close to Athens
(only 1/2 hour on the hydrofoil).
