Discover the Saronic Gulf: A Perfect Sailing Destination Near Athens
The Saronic (or Argosaronic) Gulf, nestled between Attica and Argolis, is home to some of Greece’s most captivating islands, including Salamina, Aegina, Agistri, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, and the Methana peninsula. Each island offers its own charm-crystal-clear waters, traditional architecture, vibrant villages, and rich natural beauty-making the Saronic Gulf an ideal region for island-hopping and yacht charters in Greece.
One of the gulf’s most fascinating features is its wildlife. The area is known as a gathering point for the world’s smallest species of striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba), adding a touch of magic to every sailing experience.
Thanks to its well-protected cruising conditions, the Saronic Gulf, Argolic Gulf, and the eastern Peloponnese coast are perfect for both beginners and experienced sailors. Winds are typically mild—mainly northern to northeastern, averaging 3-4 BFT-and the region is largely sheltered from the strong Meltemi winds that affect many other Aegean island groups. This combination of safety, stability, and natural beauty makes the Saronic a year-round sailing paradise, especially given its close proximity to Athens.
The most convenient departure points for reaching the Saronic Gulf are Marina Alimos and Lavrion, both easily accessible from Athens International Airport.
