Hydra

Hydra, an artists delight, the small narrow stone-paved streets waiting to be explored on foot or by the island’s traditional “vehicle” – the saddled donkey, captivating walks along the old seaside promenade, crystal clear waters, radiant traditional fine-craft shops, the beauty of Hydra will conquer you forever!

Poros 

Poros is the smallest of the three islands, separated from the Peloponnese by a narrow strait and offering a most enchanting view of Poros Town. Again, with shops and cafes dotted around the harbour. Explore the island on your own, browsing for souvenirs, or indulge in a Greek coffee or simply soaking up the easy-going atmosphere of the village.

Skopelos

Skopelos – The Mamma Mia Island!

The picture-perfect setting and  unspoiled charm make Skopelos a popular holiday destination, especially for families and couples. You can smell the sea breeze in each corner of its streets and find out its history strolling around the cobbled streets.

Skopelos has become one of the famous Greek Islands  as one of the filming locations of the Hollywood movie Mamma Mia. The charming church of Agios Ioannis Kastri, where the wedding scenes of the movie were filmed, is known as the Mamma Mia church!
