Being the main sea route into places such as Argos, Athens, Corinth, Epidaurus and Mycenae the Gulf includes three major islands - Aegina, Poros and Salamina - and the adjacent Attica and Peloponnese coasts.  For the purposes of this directory we include Hydra and Spetses islands as, although they are in a different geographical area - the so called Gulf of Hydra and Argolic Gulf - from a practical sailing point of view they are one and the same thing..
