The beautiful island of Aegina, famous for its pistachios, attracts thousands of tourists every summer, due to not only its close proximity to Athens, but also for its natural beauty.

The city of Aegina, which is also the main port, is the center of the island. There, Ferry boats and flying dolphins from the port of Piraeus arrive every morning and then continue their journey to Agistri, Poros and Spetses. Once you get off the port, just a few meters further, you will see the horse carriages waiting patiently to give you a ride on the coastal road of the city. It is worth visiting the archaeological site of Kolona, a few steps away from the harbor and the Governorate near the Cathedral of Aegina where the first government of Greece was housed. As you cross the coastal road you will find many cafés and restaurants; the fish market of the island and counters with vegetables. From the afternoon onwards, this road turns into a large pedestrian area.

On the opposite side of the island there is Agia Marina; a small village surrounded by pine trees, which used to be a popular tourist destination. There, the time has stopped somewhere in the 90s. The small pier on the edge of the village serves a small ship operating the route Piraeus - Souvala - Agia Marina. Agia Marina is an excellent choice for quiet and relaxing holidays, while the big organized sandy beach with shallow waters is ideal for families with young children. A few kilometers away, there are the Archaeological Site of the Temple of Aphaia and a small Archaeological Museum. This temple is one of the most beautiful classical temples of Greece, which along with the Parthenon in Athens and the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion form a perfect isosceles triangle. Take a few minutes and read the story of the creation of the Temple of Aphaia.

To the south of Aegina there is Perdika village; ideal destination for gourmet lovers. From there you can take the boat and visit the green island of Moni with its turquoise waters, the small deer and the peacocks. The island has an organized beach. It is certainly a tour not to be missed!

Among the most famous and important sights of Aegina is the Monastery of Agios Nectarios, with its women's monastery and its magnificent temple that overlooks the street heading from the town of Aegina to Agia Marina. A few meters behind the Monastery there is Paleochora; the abandoned old capital of Aegina, which is an ideal theme for those involved with photography.

Aegina, an island with rich history and great variety, is one of the most exceptional destinations for your holidays.
