After a short ferry ride from the Greek capital, you’ll arrive on this paradise-like island that’s known for its beaches, history and welcoming Greek hospitality. History buffs will be in their element exploring the ancient Temple of Aphaia, or you could simply stroll through the picturesque port town and bob in and out of its vibrant boutiques and beachfront cafés. Aegina is also famous for its pistachios, so don't miss out on tasting some! Whether it’s adventure or relaxation you’re after, you can do a bit of both here.
