GUIDE TO AEGINA

Located in the heart of the Saronic Gulf, near the islands of Poros and Agistri, Aegina is one of the most preferred islands for quick getaways, thanks to its proximity to Athens! Many ferries from Athens depart from Piraeus Port and arrive to the island in less than an hour.

The island’s capital, Aegina Town, on the western side of the island, is where the main port lies. In this colorful little town, you’ll find a great selection of cafes, restaurants, traditional taverns, and shops, especially along its bustling waterfront.
Outside the Town, Agia Marina is the most popular seaside resort on the island. Those who seek some quiet usually prefer more secluded places, like Perdika.

As for its beaches, although not that many, they are enticingly beautiful! Most of them are small but organized with many facilities. Among the best are Souvala Beach and Marathon Beach.
Around most of these beaches, you’ll also find a selection of hotels, seaside taverns and beach bars. However, if you are into more cloistered beaches, you can find many along the island’s coastline!

The most famous ancient monument is, hands down, the Temple of Athena Aphaia, a Doric temple sitting in the center of the island. Other important sites are the Temple of Apollo and the Temple of Ellanios Zeus.
