Aegina island is clearly seen from the city, it's a two hour sail and we know a quiet little port there with the best freshly caught seafood anywhere in Greece - and there's room in the harbour for all of a dozen yachts, if you're friendly. Okay, secret's out, it's called Perdica. The island is dominated by the temple of Aphaia, one of the most important in antiquity (from where the view is wonderful). Many other remains attest to its history, back to the mists of time around 3000 BC.

Greece,

Saronic, Argolic and Pelopponnesean

When you look at a map, the Saronic & Argolic gulfs, just south of Athens, look too close to "civilisation" for comfort; too many crowds. Not necessarily.

Saronic Gulf Other gems of the region include the islands of Poros, Hydra & Spetses, none more than 10 miles apart.

Sail up into the Argolic gulf and take the short trip to Mycenae or into the small port of Epidavros (Saronic) for the nearby classical remains of the same name. Spirits of ancient times are everywhere. Down the coast of the Pelloponese, notable anchorages include Yerakas, with its fjord-like entrance hiding a shallow lagoon with a Byzantine church keeping watch, and Monemvassia with its 'sugar-loaf' mountain houses a mediaeval village and streets just wide enough for donkeys. The wind in these gulfs is seldom fierce, but good sailing breezes of force 3 to 5 make for swift passages and, because of the nearby mainland's topography, the sea is usually pretty flat - arguably the best kind of sailing.
