“The originality of Hydra Island is displayed by the atmosphere on it with no cars allowed on the island. Everyone including locals and visitors moves around Hydra either by foot or on a donkey – the main transportation here.”
Poros is a small, volcanic little island of great beauty with rich vegetation. Much of the northern and far eastern/western sides of the island are bushy, whereas large areas of old pine forest are found in the south and center of the island. It is very close to Athens Greece and is a popular summer resort for both Greeks and foreigners. Many Athenians have summerhouses here, which can be noticed on the weekends since the island livens up a lot then.
Aegina Island is one of the islands in the Saronic Gulf, just 17 miles (27 km) from Athens City. The capital is the town of Aegina (pop. 7,410 in the 2001 census), situated at the northwestern end of the island. Due to its proximity to Athens, it is a popular quick getaway during the summer months, with quite a few Athenians owning second houses on the island.
