Saronic Islands

The Saronic Islands or Argo-Saronic Islands is an archipelago in Greece, named after a Saronic Gulf in which they are located, just off the Greek mainland. The leading inhabited islands of this multinational are Salamis, Aegina, Agistri, as well as Poros. The islands of Hydra & Dokos, which lie off the northeast tip of the Peloponnese technically between the Saronic Gulf as well as the Argolic Gulf, are sometimes spoke as part of the Saronic Islands.

Many mainland Greeks pretend vacation homes in the Saronic Islands, which are regularly served by ferries from the Athen's port of Piraeus and the Peloponnese. Salamis, the largest island of the group, is where the ancient Greek navy defeated the Persians in the Battle of Salamis.
