Aegina island is just an hour from Athens by boat from Piraeus, making it an easy escape. But what sets it apart? Is it the island’s rich history, stunning turquoise waters, or the vibrant light that inspires artists? Perhaps it’s the famous pistachios and fresh seafood served by the sea. It’s all of these things and more. Aegina’s hidden secrets make it truly special, and our Aegina Island Tour captures them all.
Aegina encapsulates the entire history of Greece. Near the port, you’ll find Kolona and the 6th-century BC Temple of Apollo, standing as proud testaments to the island’s ancient past. Wander through Aegina Town’s narrow streets to discover Venetian-era landmarks like the Tower of Markellos. The Kapodistrian-era buildings, including the Governor’s House, reflect Aegina’s role as Greece’s first modern capital.
The Temple of Aphaia, built between 500–490 BC, is a site of incredible energy and significance. It forms two imaginary isosceles triangles: one with the Temple of Poseidon at Sounio and the Temple of Hephaestus in Athens, and another with the Temple of Apollo at Delphi and the Parthenon.
Aegina is home to beautiful monasteries, offering serene atmospheres and stunning views. The Monastery of Saint Nektarios, located 6 km from the town in the medieval village of Paleochora, is a spiritual haven. This iconic site, named after the monk Nektarios, is a place of profound significance and tranquil beauty. Visitors come from around the world to reflect and experience its serene charm.
