Aegina
A place to escape
How about pottery lessons outdoors, open-air cinema, watersports and walks among fishing boats, floating fresh food markets and neoclassical houses — always with a bag of pistachios in hand?
Just 40 minutes from the port of Piraeus, Aegina is ready to welcome you with the promise of enchantment from its Doric beauty. On the island that once served as the first capital of the modern Greek state, you will also enjoy natural beauty, picturesque villages and beaches with crystal-clear waters.
And if you are looking for a deep dive of another kind- into Greek culture-then you’ve certainly come to the right place. At the Temple of Aphaia, Kolona, the stone chapels and the monasteries along the way, the island gradually gives away layer upon layer of some of the country’s most intriguing secrets from the past.
...and nuts about the
Pistachio!
The island of contrasts
Aegina, an island full of contrasts, certainly knows how to win over every visitor.
Its deep blue waters, impressive olive groves and local flavors are only a few of the elements that make it stand out — and just some of the reasons why people from all over the world have chosen it as their home.
With the rich and distinctive taste of the famous Aegina pistachio and a nostalgic tone from a bygone age, one thing is certain; a single escape to this island filled with the energy of ancient Greece is never enough.
Each visit reveals something more. Something new, yet equally authentic.
"Rich history, natural beauty and crystal-clear waters, just 40 minutes from Athens."
