Saronic Island and Peloponnese
The first leg is from Base to Aegina, Agia Marina. A great chance if you want to visit the ancient Temple of Aphaia since it is very close.
Leaving Aegina, about 4 hours later you will arrive at Hydra. A privileged place with great views, impressive architecture, imposing Mansions, narrow alleys that highlight the rich history of the island mixed with the intense scent of jasmine will enchant you. The fact that no cars or motorbikes allowed in the city port of Hydra offer a calm and relaxed mood.
A traditional place to visit is Kyparissi. Get some rest and enjoy the delicious Mediterranean cuisine.
When you face from a distance the imposing rock of Monemvasia you will feel awe. In the castle, you will catch yourself waiting to see knights in armor marching for the battle.
The next stop is Spetses, an island with great contribution during the war of independence against the Ottoman Empire with elegant beauty and a cosmopolitan style.
Swin and relax at the beautiful bay of Hinitsa and on the way back, visit Poros, an architectural gem with lovely beaches, crystal waters, and a pine tree forest that reaches the edge of the coastline.

Reaching the port, Hydra island looks glamorous like an art-paint, with grey, white and blue colours above the blue of the sea, an exemplar of architectonics and aesthetics. The town of Hydra island, which is the centre of the whole island, is built amphitheatrically around the port, combining nature and architecture.
