Saronic Gulf Islands: a Pleasant Surprise Only Two Hours Cruise from Athens

The Greek islands are the stars that illuminate the world of yachting! Bright stars such as Santorini or Mykonos are dominant, with the Cyclades Islands being another desirable “constellation.”

However, as the night sky is filled with celestial bodies, so does Greece encompass countless islands — each with its own character and individuality.
