Within
close distance
from Athens, there are
its islands, real diamonds,
the jewels of Argosaronic
Gulf, which along with
their antiquities, historical
monuments and sightseeing,
you have to visit.
Picturesque
small islands with beautiful
sandy or pebbled beaches,
in which the pine trees reach
the crystal clear waters
of the Argosaronic Gulf sea.
These islands combine
their close distance from
Athens with the wonderful
holidays, and religious tourism
activities that are being
offered to the visitors.
The islands have got accommodations
for all budgets, tavernas
on the beach, fun or relaxing
holidays, depending on what
everyone seeks.
In
each of the islands you will
fill your days with super
fun water games and sports
like Wind surfing, jump,
trick skiing, wakeboard,
barefoot, jet ski, banana,
tubes, parasailing, and more
or explore the beautiful
underwater world with
the help of the sea sport
schools that exist. Finally,

Historical
islands, where visitors can
see in their streets and
arcitecture the history and
culture of the past and
present. Strolling
at the quaint alleys and
looking at the imposing buildings,
someone can imagine themselves
walking through history.
A visitor has got a lot to
see, the antiquities and
the Temple of Aphaia in Aegina,
the Temple of Poseidon in
Poros, the Royal tombs
of Magoulas in Galatas,
the Ancient Trizina, the
glorious and historic
Hydra island along with its
History - Archive Museum,
the Ecclesiastical
- Byzantine Museum and the
other museums or the old
Mansions with the peculiar
architecture and picturesque
Byzantine churches along
with its historical museums in Spetses.
But
one of the most important
reasons to come to our islands
is to visit the
Holy Monasteries and Churches
of our islands,
which, beyond the religious
role and the devotion they
cause, are architectural
and historical monuments
of the Saronic Gulf with
a lot of historical relics.
The
Monastery of Saint Nectarios in
Aegina, the Church of Virgin
Mary and the small
chapels in Poros,
the Monastery of the Assumption in
Hydra and the 54 Churches in
Spetses are small samples
of religiosity you will encounter
on the islands of Athens.
