Ferry from Greece to Saronic Islands

About Greece

Greece is a country in Southern Europe with the 11th longest coastline in the world, sharing borders with Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey, and with islands in the Aegean, Ionian and Mediterranean Seas. As one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, the country’s fabulous beaches, whitewashed homes, historical sites and favourable climate attract huge numbers of visitors to its islands year round, though the majority arrive between April and October. Whether you arrive on the mainland by sea or by air, the majority of islands can only be reached by ferry. With the number of services on offer, as you may expect, Greek ferries are of a high standard and most ferry companies feature a modern and luxurious fleet. All Greek islands are linked to the mainland, some directly, some indirectly and island-hopping is great experience, not to be missed. Due to being a gateway to the islands, the Greek mainland is well connected to Italy across the Adriatic Sea too.

About Saronic Islands

The Saronic Islands are a Greek archipelago just off the Peloponnese peninsula in the Aegean’s Saronic Gulf. Situated close to Athens, these islands are popular amongst Greeks for daytrips and weekend getaways. Comprising Salamina, Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, Dokos and Agistri, each island has a unique feel. Aegina has spectacular temples and historic sites, Angistri is blanketed by lush forests and offers total tranquillity, particularly outside the high season, Salamina has a port dating back to the 4th Century, while the others boast exquisite beaches, idyllic towns and hidden coves speckled along the coastline. The Saronic Islands are extremely well served by ferry, offering frequent, high-speed sailings every day to numerous locations on the Greek mainland. There are also plenty of ferry routes within the archipelago itself, all operated by one of the country’s leading ferry companies.
