24 VarvitsiotiAegina (Aigina) is located 26 km / 16 miles below Athens, is part of the Saronic islands group and can easily be reached within 40 minutes from Piraeus.
The trip to Aegina can be done by the high-speed Flying Dolphin or the standard ferry. Once there, this island is perfect for cycling, relaxing on the beach, visiting the Temple of Aphaia above the port town of Aghia Marina and enjoying fresh seafood along the small coastal village of Perdika. In all, a great day trip, but also a nice alternative if you want to visit Athens as a day trip and stay on an island about an hour or less away from the mainland.

This island is smaller and located near Aegina. It has amazing beaches and sparkling clear water. Perhaps this is why it was one of the first islands in Greece to have a nudist beach, which is still open today. The island as a whole is quiet and quaint with much of the less traveled parts being mostly agricultural. The village of Limineria, named after its lake, is made of local Greeks who devote themselves mostly to farming and fishing. These islands near Athens are also a good choice for the winter months when weather is unpredictable and you don’t want to be too far from Athens.

Although Hydra is not known for sandy beaches, that doesn’t stop locals and tourists from swimming along the rocky shorelines . The town has been restored and is exactly as it was in the 1800s. Since there are no cars allowed on the island, you will genuinely feel as though you are in the 1800s with donkeys passing you by on the narrow walkways. However, if you grow tired of walking, there are water-taxis at your service. Also there are some wonderful seafood restaurants in the village of Kamina. You can go for the day, or stay the night, with excursions to Ancient Mycenae, Epidavros and the beaches of the Peloponnese where there is plenty to be seen.

Kea is the nearest island of the Cyclades to the mainland, and much of its coastline has holiday homes built with the locally quarried green-brown stone where Athenians go to get away for the weekends. One place you must check out is one of the most iconic landmarks on the island, the Lion of Kea — an ancient sculpture you have to hike up a hill-side to see but worth it! Also a popular place to visit on the island is the Panagia Kastriani Monastery which is breathtaking and has amazing sea views. If you want to check out some ancient ruins, go to Ancient Karthea where you will find the remains of a temple and theater overlooking the sea.
