GREECE

Spetses

Alive with culture, this vibrant historic old town is the only settlement on the island. And what a beautiful island it is. Thickly scented pine trees, give colour to the lazy rolling hills dipping in the sea, and provide shelter to the cricket ensemble that gives the classical soundtrack to this scenery.

Poros

Poros is a magical place, that seems to be frozen in time. Henry Miller described it as the island that "revolves in cubistic planes, one of walls and windows, one of rocks and goats, one of stiff blown trees and shrubs and so on. " So savour a cocktail on one of its pine surrounded, gold sandy beaches, enjoy some fresh sea food at Taverna Agrapidos, catch a sunset by the Old Clock for the small price of climbing 183 steps or just chill on the boat. Relax. Enjoy!

Agistri

Hibernating during low season, this island comes alive in mid-summer, filling its beaches with loungers and tourists sizzling in the sun like lizards, looking for the perfect tan. Within swimming distance from the island of Aegina and less than two hours sailing from Piraeus, Angistri is covered by lush, verdurous pine woods and adorned with sandy beaches and crystal blue coves.

Aegina

Aegina is rich with history and ripe with prestigious ancient sites. A good island to rent a scooter and go for an exploration. Ride out to Aegina Town, Marathon or the village of Skala, with its crammed boutique hotels, taverns and coffee shops. Aegina cuisine honourably represents Greek tradition. Just pick a tavern with a nice view by the sea, sit at a table and let your body sink the wooden chair, close your eyes and randomly put your finger on the menu. Whatever you choose, you can't go wrong! Don't forget to ask for a shot of ouzo to wake up your taste buds in anticipation of great palate delight.
