Saronic Islands
The main inhabited
islands
of this group, so named because they lie in the
Saronic Gulf
just off the
Greek
mainland, are
Salamis Island
(where the ancient Greek navy famously defeated the Persians in the
Battle of Salamis
),
Aegina
,
Angistri
, and
Poros
. The islands of
Hydra
and
Dokos
, which lie off the northeast tip of the
Peloponnese
(technically between the
Saronic Gulf
and the
Argolic Gulf
), are sometimes included as part of the Saronic Islands. Many mainland Greeks have vacation homes in the Saronic Islands, which are regularly served by ferries from
Piraeus
and the Peloponnese.
