The Gulf of Argosaronikos contains a cluster of small islands that can be fast and easily reached by hydrofoil from the port of Piraeus. They are considered by many to be ideal one-day-cruise destinations, although longer-stay vacationers also frequent them. Hydra, Spetses, Poros, Aegina, Agistri and Salamina, the largest of the Argosaronikos islands, have played an important role in Greece's history since antiquity. They have been invariably colonized and conquered by many due to their privileged location in the sea between Athens and the Peloponnese. The Argosaronikos islands share many common features such as beautiful beaches, picturesque coastline villages, winding cobblestone streets, romantic sunsets and exciting nightlife; however, each one of them has managed to maintain its own special charm and character.
