prefectures of Greece . It is part of the periphery ofAttica and the Athens-Piraeus super-prefecture. The capital of the prefecture is the city ofPiraeus . The prefecture covers the south-western part of the agglomeration ofAthens , several islands in theSaronic Gulf (Salamis,Aegina ,Agkistri ,Poros , Hydra,Dokos ,Spetses ,Spetsopoula ),Methana andTroizina on thePeloponnese peninsula, and the islands ofKythira andAntikythera south of the Peloponnese.
