Fancy a short island detour? Aegina, the island highlight in the Saronic Sea, is actually only a stone's throw away from the capital Athens. The island fascinates with its contrasting, distinctive landscapes and is bursting with charm and charisma. Impressive temples from antiquity, masterful Byzantine sacred buildings, monuments and neoclassical buildings reflect the island's thousands of years of historical significance. Stroll through the cobbled streets and along the gracefully simple, whitewashed houses to enjoy the idyllic atmosphere of the island's cosmopolitan harbor town! Charming little villages, coastal hamlets and artists' colonies complete the impressive island picture with their unmistakable traditional character.
