Saronic Gulf, Greek Islands ...
These islands are all within an hour or two from Athens by Flying Dolphin, which makes them not only convenient for day trips, but Aegina, Poros and Angistri can be used as a place to stay while commuting to Athens to see the sites. There are many ferries a day and Hydrofoils can run hourly or more.

Aegina, Saronic Gulf, Greek Islands
was a city state in it's own right in ancient times, and at times a visible thorn in the side of classical Athens. Aegina is a nice day trip from Athens. Take the ferry rather then the Flying Dolphin (hydrofoil) so that you can relax and enjoy the scenery of the short trip...

Angistri, Saronic Gulf, Greek Islands
is a small island near Aegina with beautiful sandy beaches and a devoted following. Angistri is famous for being one of the first places in Greece to experiment with naturalism, (or in plain English it was one of the first islands to have a nudist beach)...

Hydra, Argo Saronic Greek Islands
Former home of Leonard Cohen and jet setter haven. No beaches but who cares?
Magnificent village and swimming off the rocks is good enough for recovering
from the previous nights festivities. Restaurants and cafes on waterfront are
for people-watching ...

Poros, Argo Saronic Greek Islands
Imagine an island so close to Athens that you can wake up in the morning and
in a little more than an hour, be walking around the acropolis, shopping in
the flea-market or wandering around the Plaka looking for gifts or a nice
place for lunch. Imagine an island that is a three minute boat ride to the
Peleponisos and places like Nafplion, Myceneae, Epidavros.

doorway to the Peleponnese...
