Saronic Islands, Greece

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Saronic Islands are a cluster of islands in the Saronic Gulf, just off the coast of Attica and within easy reach of Athens, making them among the most accessible island destinations in Greece. The group includes Aegina, Poros, Hydra, and Spetses, each with its own distinct character — from Aegina's ancient Temple of Aphaia and pistachio groves to Hydra's famously car-free harbour lined with neoclassical mansions. Travellers come for sailing and island-hopping, swimming in clear Aegean waters, and exploring historic sites and traditional Greek architecture. The proximity to Athens makes the Saronics a popular weekend escape for both locals and international visitors looking for an authentic, crowd-friendly alternative to the more distant island chains.

Pride Sailing in Greece (Athens) — Self-Launched Island Hopping

A self-launched, independent version of Med Sailing Holidays' 8-day Pride sailing week from Alimos Marina — swapping the chartered yacht for cheap ferries, fast boats and island guesthouses across the Saronic Gulf (Agistri, Hydra, Spetses, Porto Heli/Dokos, Poros) before returning to Athens. You keep the same bays, beach clubs, tavernas and sunset swims, plus an Athens rooftop finish, at roughly a third of the operator's €1,690 shared-cabin price. Costs are approximate backpacker rates in GBP.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Saronic Islands, Greece yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
