Aegina holidays

The beautiful island of Aegina floats in the Saronic Gulf, just off the coast of Athens. 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. Why not try a different piece of Greece for your next summer holiday?

Ancient attractions

Despite its dinky size, Aegina is bursting with history! Visit the magnificent Temple of Aphaia for panoramic views and ancient wonder. Explore the fascinating ruins of Kolona, then dive into local legends at the Archaeological Museum. Don’t forget the impressive Agios Nektarios Monastery.


Go nuts for pistachios

These little green gems are legendary in Aegina – they're rich, sweet and perfectly roasted. Snack on them plain or tuck into pistachio-infused treats like ice cream, pastries and oh-so creamy spreads. You can pick them up in local markets or gourmet shops. Get cracking and indulge!


Seaside resorts

Aegina’s scenic seaside resorts are perfect for a relaxing beach break. You can enjoy the best of both worlds at Aghia Marina, with its sun-bleached sand and water sports galore. For a laidback swim, head to Perdika. Relaxed waterfronts have never seemed more inviting!
