• Aegina - Departure is scheduled for the morning to catch the ferry from Piraeus port, arriving about an hour and 15 minutes later at Aegina’s charming harbor, often bustling with local fishing boats and luxury yachts.

Historically, evidence shows the island was inhabited as early as 3,500 B.C. Aegina experienced significant economic and social development between 900 B.C. and 480 B.C., including minting Greece’s first coins in the 7th century B.C.

In modern history, Aegina briefly served as the first ‘capital’ of modern Greece from January 12th to October 3rd, 1828.

• Temple of Aphaia - After exploring Aegina’s capital town with its traditional food market by the harbor, the journey continues to discover the island’s beautiful sandy beaches and significant archaeological sites.
  For instance, the Temple of Aphaia (5th century B.C.).
  The temple was constructed on the remains of an earlier sixth-century temple, at the location of a pre-Greek shrine.

Interesting fact!

The Temple forms an equilateral triangle with the Parthenon and the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion, known as the “holy triangle” of antiquity.

It was dedicated to a Greek goddess worshipped almost exclusively at a single sanctuary on this island, a local deity linked to fertility and the agricultural cycle.
This unique goddess was later identified with the goddesses Athena and Artemis.

• Agios Nektarios Monastery - The tour continues to one of the island’s most visited sites, the church of Agios Nektarios (Saint Nektarios) - one of the largest in the Balkans.

Agios Nektarios

The church is dedicated to Nectarios of Aegina, Wonderworker of Aegina, and one of the most celebrated Greek saints. The chapels house the tomb and holy relics of Agios Nektarios.
After visiting the church, visitors can climb the stairs to the monastery of the Holy Trinity, where fourteen nuns still reside.
