Our locations in the Saronic Islands
Hydra
On the Saronic island of Hydra, pristine natural beauty, a theatrical harbour town, a creative vibe, and a complete lack of motorised vehicles combine to create an enchanting, dream-like atmosphere.
Spetses
With its cosmopolitan main town, its coastal wonders, and its empty verdant hinterland, the Saronic island of Spetses is a quiet, green island that’s hard to beat when it comes to car-free, carefree living.
Aegina
The low-key Cycladic island of Aegina has plenty to offer, from paradisiacal beaches and sleepy villages to ancient temples and archaeological sites. It’s also ideally placed for day trips to Athens.
