The
Saronic Islands -
The Saronic Islands are the closest to Athens and the port of Piraeus,
just a hydrofoil trip away. My pictures feature Poros, Hydra and
Spetses, all different in their own way and all quite stunning. Poros
Town lies along the waterfront, only a few hundred metres away
from the Peloponnese shore, a sunny place. Behind the perfect horseshoe
harbour of Hydra, the stone town rises in tiers to form an
amphitheatre.The waterfront is lined with eclectic tavernas spilling
out across the flagstones, their rows of cane chairs facing the action,
and narrow cobbled streets lead back into the town, like slits between
the walls, mysterious and inviting. Spetses is different again - a
quiet place with many neat squares filled with attractive tavernas. A
little off the tourist track, its back streets are picturesque and full
of flowers and colourful painted signs. Enjoy.
