AEGINA

One hour from Athens, the second largest island of the Argosaronic Gulf is an ideal choice for short escapes. Getting to know the island starts at the port with colorful neoclassical buildings, horse drawn carriages and floating produce boats. But don't stop there. From the important monuments and the beautiful inland landscapes, Palaiochora and the impressive Temple of Aphaia to the picturesque fishing village of Perdika and the pine covered islet Moni, Aegina has many charms to win over every visitor.
