What you can expect

  • Discover the beauty of the Saronic Islands on a day trip from Athens to Aegina. Combine historical landmarks, scenic views, and local experiences on a guided tour. Visit the Temple of Athena Aphaia, enjoy a pistachio tasting, and take a dive to the blue waters of a Greek Beach.

    Meet your guide at the port of Piraeus. Board a ferry to Aegina Island. Enjoy the view of the Saronic Gulf as you approach the island.

    Upon arriving in Aegina, head to Agios Nektarios Monastery (founded in 1904), one of the most important religious sites in Greece. Saint Nektarios of Aegina was one of the most revered modern saints of the Greek Orthodox Church, known for his piety, miracles, and deep theological knowledge. Many believe that prayers at Saint Nektarios' tomb bring miracles, especially for the sick.

    Continue your day with a visit to the Temple of Athena Aphaia, one of the most important ancient sites on the island. Tour the temple and take in the surrounding archaeological site, which dates back to the 5th century BCE. The temple is remarkably well-preserved, and its history is tied to the mythological tales of the gods. It is said to have once stood as a sanctuary dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

    Unwind at Agia Marina beach. This tranquil spot is perfect for a swim or just unwinding by the sea. The beach offers a clear view of the Athenian coast, with its golden sand and calm waters. Take some time to swim or relax under the sun.

    Head to Aegina Town for a stroll through the charming streets, lined with quaint shops, cafes, and restaurants. The island's architecture blends traditional Greek island style with Venetian influences. Enjoy a delicious local meal at one of the restaurants by the harbour. You can sample fresh seafood, Aegina's famous pistachios, and local dishes like souvlaki or moussaka.

    After a leisurely meal, catch the ferry back to Piraeus.
