Saronic

One of the most historically important towns in the Peloponnese the harbour is well equipped and the romantic old town is filled with excellent tavernas.

There is a small charge for berthing in the marina but there is water and electricity on the quay, fuel can be delivered by small tanker. There is a good choice of shops and tavernas in the town.

A former capital of Greece and one of the largest towns in the Peloponnese, a large fort sits on top of the hill. There are paid moorings in the harbour which will be quieter during the week.

A small fishing harbour with spaces for a few yachts there is water on the quay and a few fish tavernas on the quay serving locally caught fish to visitors.

A large bay which is sheltered from all wind directions, Porto Heli (or sometimes Kheli) has decent facilities on the quay, water can be delivered by truck, and the bay is a water sports haven. As well as the harbour there are a number of anchorages in the bay.

An often overlooked but pretty village, Ermioni provides respite from the bustle of the islands there are a number of excellent tavernas and good shops for provisioning around the harbour.

The yacht harbour on the north west of the island has space for several yachts and good shelter from most wind directions. The island itself is small and not overrun by tourists, for this reason it maintains a rustic charm.

The Great Theatre of Epidhavros is one of the most famous ancient Greek attractions in the area being one of the most beautiful and best preserved theatres in Greece. It can be reached from either the new or old Epidhavros harbour.

The island of Spetses (or Spetsai) is a stunningly chic island and a popular place for wealthy Athenians to keep a holiday home. The main town of Dapia reflects this, it is a lively but pleasantly upmarket place with lots of bars and amazing restaurants to choose from. There is another harbour out of town with its own set of slightly more rustic but no less appealing tavernas.

In the summer boats will often be rafted five deep in the harbour but it is worth arriving there in time to see one of the most famous and interesting spots in the Saronics, with a great mix of cosmopolitan and traditional bars, shops and restaurants yet where donkeys are still the primary form of transport.
