Aiginia/Aegina

[perlgirlnj]

I've read several threads about people visiting this island as a day trip from Athens. We're actually going there as one of our ports from 8 AM to 8 PM and am having a hard time figuring out what to do there.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

We did Aegina as part of a day trip from Athens and it was a beautiful island. We didn't do anything other than walk along the water. There is a beautiful big church at the end of the walkway and I remember there was an entrance to a beach.

What I remember the most were the fishing boats selling fresh produce right off their fronts and a HUGE fish market across the street from that. The island is known for their pistachios so we stocked up and had a leisurely cup of espresso while watching the sunset.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! Shelly:)

Hi,

 

 

Relax!

 

Find a Taverna, have a Greek salad and an ozo. Go to the beach and appreciate being away from crowdy and noisy Athens!

 

Please see some photos from Aegina here:
