Overview

Traveling to Aegina island is one the easiest and best island getaways but also a real Greek experience. A perfect PRIVATE day trip to the pristine beaches of an authentic destination without the "hordes of tourists" but with small scale beauty and simplicity. Looking for an authentic experience? The island feel, the food, the history? It is all there! Start with a hotel pick up to the port of Piraeus, then a great boat ride enjoying the views from the ferry's decks. Explore this pine green island with your private driver/guide and with full flexibility that a private tour offers. A relaxing island in the Saronic Gulf facing Athens with small fishing villages, and a "swimming pool like" water. Visit the island's famous St Nektarios monastery, explore the Perdika fishing village, and the Temple of Athena Aphaia with the amazing views. Let your guide recommend the best location for an authentic lunch right next to the water. Enjoy an undistracted sunset while cruising back to Athens.

  1. Aegina is a lovely island in close distance to Athens. This is why it gets very popular as a weekend destination for the Athenians. The most popular tourist places is Agia Marina, Souvala and Marathon with relaxing beaches, while very nice is also the seaside village of Perdika. The most important sight in Aegina Greece is the Ancient Temple of Athena Aphaia, constructed in the 6th century BC.

  2. The Temple of Aphaia is one of the major attractions that one can see on the island of Aegina. Built on a hill, at 160 meters, it is surrounded by pine trees and it stands out for its unique energy. Since prehistoric times (1300 B.C.) it has been a unique place of worship!

  3. On the Southern edge of the island lies the small fishing village of Perdika. This is perhaps one of the most picturesque spots on the island and still has the characterictics of the Aegean style of square houses and narrow streets. Many tavernas to eat fish. From here you can take a small boat to the island of Moni.

  4. One of the most visited sites on Aegina is the church of Agios Nektarios. Agios Nektarios was known as a great miracle worker, particularly as a healer of every sort of disease, he was also a prolific writer, theologist, philosopher, moralist, educator, poet, ascetic and mystic.

  5. OPTIONAL: A short boat ride to Moni island (OR in Aegina Island) for swimming in the crystal clear water. This requires extra time and a longer day, with an extra cost of 50 to 110 EUR, depending on the number of people.
