Agistri 
Agistri is a peacefully remote and beautiful island in the Saronic Gulf, just one hour from the Athenian port of Piraeus and minutes away from the most well known and cosmopolitan islands of Aegina, Hydra and Poros. Agistri is the smallest of the Saronic islands with three main villages: Skala, Milos and the agricultural village of Limenaria. Due to its size and tranquillity, Agistri is sometimes described as the best kept secret of the Saronic Gulf.
The main tourist resort is Skala, dominated by the large white church of Agion Anargyron situated close to a sandy beach. There are numerous Greek tavernas and cafe bars as well as a couple of small clubs. The next village of Megalochori or Milos is the capital of the island. Its scenic tiled lanes, traditional cafes, windmill and stone-built houses contribute to the ambience of the island.
On the west side of the island you will find yourself in a magical place that is in absolute harmony with the green of the pine trees and the deep blue of the sea. It is worth visiting the graphic harbour of Mariza and exotic landscape where the most beautiful beach of the island, Aponisos, is situated. The third village, Limenaria, gives you the opportunity to admire the stone houses, cypress and olive trees, melon fields and the picturesque village taverns.

Hydra 
Hydra is the model for a natural and historical setting that will leave you refreshed after your holiday. Besides garbage trucks, motor vehicles are not permitted on the island; which leaves the bulk of public transportation up to horses, donkeys and water taxis. The inhabited area, however, is so compact that most people walk everywhere.
The ancient roads and alleys of Hydra are paved with slabs, while many of the houses adorned with flowers, gives the island a tranquil and romantic mood. The island’s manors are worth visiting and the harbour provides a pleasant and serene atmosphere. The hills of Periptero and Spilia are a short distance away and provide splendid scenery for admiring the sunset. Take the advantage to visit some of the monasteries and churches of Hydra, and enjoy the island’s combination of nature and culture.

Kalymnos and Telendos - Besides being a strong draw for adventure travelers -- particularly divers, winsurfers, and rock climbers eager to tackle the island's limestone cliffs -- off-the-grid Kalymnos is relatively unscathed by tourism. Its tooth-shaped sister island, Telendos, which was part of Kalymnos until an earthquake separated the two in the sixth century A.D., is even quieter. The water taxi from Myrtes Beach to Telendos costs only a few euros, but the views of the jagged peak rising out of the Aegean are worth 10 times that. Onshore in Telendos, there's a small strip of tavernas and some residences, but the buildings and houses quickly fall away, leaving the hiker with early Christian basilicas, a necropolis, and a secret white-washed church built right into a cliff. The far end of the island boasts a nudist beach.

Kos - Kos is one of islands in the Dodecanese and probably only rivalled by Rhodos when it comes down to popularity. The capital of Kos, which also bears the name Kos, is on the eastern side of the island. Although its a fairly modern city (not in the least because of the annual invasion of travellers), it has some quite well-preserved sights, such as the Knights of St John Castle dominating the harbour and ruins of ancient Roman buildings.

Dominated by its famous, picturesque church, perched 40 metres above the rooftops on a huge rocky outcrop in the centre of the village, Petra is a year-round working village. Its traditional way of life still flourishes with fishermen busy on the harbour and farmers chatting noisily over their morning coffee in the bustling village square.
Kalloni is a small town, which satisfies the needs and wishes of every guest. The town has a large and diversified market, cafes and traditional buildings that catch the eye of travellers.
