The very small island of Spetses is probably the favorite spot for wealthy Athenians to build their new weekend homes. But this island also has the distinctive good fortune of being the birthplace of Bouboulina, the heroine of the Ottoman Turks' War of Independence of 1822.

The winding coastline of Kea provides an array of beaches where you can relax in peace and quiet, or if you're feeling a bit more active it's a great place to get on the jet ski, kayak or snorkel to explore and enjoy the pristine waters.

In the past, Lavrion was a prosperous site for silver mining and was a major contributor to Athens' political and naval strength. Located at the top of the Attiki Peninsula, Lavrion has an interesting attraction that makes it an unusual year-round destination: Between ancient times and the industrial period, slag from the silver mining process was poured into the sea. Over the years, seawater deeply infiltrated the slag and formed perfect mineral crystals which wash up on the shores!
