Yacht tour in the Saronic Islands – we present to your attention the program of our exciting cruise:

Day. 2. Aegina Island – Poros Island.

According to legend, this is exactly the place where Zeus brought the nymph Aegina, and since then the island bears her name. It is covered with a pine forest, and on the east coast is the Temple of Afea (built in the 5th century BC). During the time of Ancient Greece, the island was a major trade center, and even its capital for some time. There are many archaeological sites of antiquity, many of which are in the Archaeological Museum.

In addition to the temple of Afea, the remains of the ancient temple of Apollo are also preserved here. Your acquaintance with the island begins with your arrival at the local port. You will immediately appreciate the local flavor and atmosphere – yachts and boats, old small churches, neat two-story houses and endless beaches. Aegina is a Mediterranean paradise. During the tour you can see all the main attractions of the island.

Day 3. Poros Island – Hydra Island.

Poros Island is located in the Saronic Gulf south of Aegina and is separated from the Peloponnese by a narrow strait. It belongs to the ancient region of Kalavria. If Apollo and Athena were more revered in Athens and Aegina, then Poros is the island of the god of the seas, Poseidon. Here you can still find the remains of the ancient temple of this deity. Also on the island there is a female Orthodox monastery and a unique lemon forest. During the day you will visit all the most interesting places on the island and get an unforgettable experience about this place.
