POROS:
A volcanic island, formed through the union of two smaller islands, Kalavria and Sphaeria. Archaeology buffs will want to visit the scant remains of the Sanctuary of Poseidon, 5 km from the town of Poros on the road to the Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi. Swimmers will find charming little sandy bays along the way to Neorio, rimmed with pine trees down to the sea. Life on Poros is spent with dives in clear waters, visits in seaside resorts and night escapades in a wide variety of restaurants, bars, and lively discos.

HYDRA:
It is famous for its maritime tradition, as is Spetses. The Hora is picturesque and beautiful; with high and colourful sea captains mansions lining the waterfront while a stark grey hill rises in the background. Between the mansions are narrow streets with taverns and shops, where the foreigners gather after they reach the small port of this charming island. Hydra is also blessed by the absence of motorcars.

SPETSES
is furthest from Athens. Charming horse-drawn carriages are the form of travel in style, as cars are not allowed on the cobbled streets. Bougainvilleas overflow the white-washed garden walls that enclose the pebbled yards of the mansions. Antique cannons decoratively guard the scenic harbour, and the dozens of shops and cafes that line the shore. Sight worth seeing on Spetses is the house of Bouboulina, the Revolutionary heroine; the Mexis house, now a museum and the church of Agia Triada with its carved iconostasis. Among the most popular beaches on the island are Agii Anargyri and Agia Paraskevi.

TOLON
was a small fishing village that has developed into a tourist resort on the strength of its sandy beach.

NAFPLION:
The northeast Peloponnese welcomes us at Argos, the ancient strong point, today a point of departure for Nauplia - the first capital of free Greece - with the Bourtzi, an islet topped by a miniature fort, and the Palamidi rock. Sandy beaches, and local atmosphere complete the picture of Nafplion.

PORTO HELI:
A popular tourist spot built in a natural harbour, safe from all kinds of weather. Hush vegetation and a modern town of 750 inhabitants with restaurants, bouzouki places, nearby sandy and secluded beaches - mainly open to yachtsmen - guarantee unique holiday moments.

MONI
is a small-uninhabited island that is partially wooded. It is a sanctuary for wild life and the sight of peacocks along the beach in the mornings is quite common.

AEGINA:
Mythology relates that Aegina is named after the daughter of Asopos, who was abducted by Zeus. Aegina famous for its pottery is covered with pistachio trees. Pine forests surround its beautiful green villages. It is also the home to one of antiquity's most famous temples, to Aphaia with 24 standing pillars. The capital of the island, Aegina, is particularly picturesque with colourful mansions, ever-busy streets, horse driven chariots, numerous shops selling pistachios and ceramics.
