Holidays to Aegina

Overview

Introduction

Aegina is one of the closest islands to Athens, taking just 40 minutes on one of the frequent hydrofoil services from Piraeus to reach. It is of course popular with Athenians to visit at weekends, which has the advantage of keeping taverna standards up and prices down.

Aegina Town is colourful with a long waterfront lined with tavernas known for their fresh fish. There are neoclassical buildings, narrow back streets and shaded squares to explore. Just to the north, behind the small beach, is the site of Kolona which dates back some 5000 years.

Aegina once rivalled Athens as a sea power and it is said that island introduced coins to the western world. The 6th century BC temple of Athena Aphaia is a must to visit as well as the ruined medieval village of Paleochora, with its many Byzantine churches and the nearby monastery of Agios Nektarios.

There are many beaches, some organised, others still untouched. A very nice beach excursion is to the islet of Moni, just off-shore. The island -uninhabited other than by goats, deer and peacocks! - has a good beach, with sunbeds and snack bar, and is easily (and inexpensively) reached in just 10 minutes by regular water taxi service from Perdika village in the south west. Boats also run from Aegina Town.

The smaller island of Agistri is just 10 minutes away by hydrofoil - an obvious day trip - and a two centre holiday is very easy to arrange.

Getting There

Flights from a range of UK airports to Athens. 1 hour taxi to Piraeus port for ferry or hydrofoil to the island (40 - 70 mins). Onward transfer to your accommodation. On your return the reverse applies.

Multi-Centre Options

Aegina connects with Agistri in just 10 minutes (frequent service). During certain periods there is a ferry connection to Poros (takes 1hr 20mins). For Hydra and Spetses (and Poros on the days the direct ferry does not operate) it is necessary to return to Piraeus and connect with an onward ferry. All islands can be combined with Athens, or tailor-made with a wide variety of options via Athens.

Representative

We do not employ our own representatives on these islands and transfers are unescorted. Our hotels should be able to give any information required. Our main agents in Athens can always be contacted if required.

Claire Kalatzis

Claire joined us in 2005 after having spent 6 years in Lesbos running her own business teaching English, where she married a Greek. The economic crisis in Greece forced them to return to the UK. Alongside day to day reservations, Claire is also mother goose to our 30 or so overseas representatives in Greece and works very closely with Graeme, our overseas manager in Greece, to arrange for their interviewing and training. Understandably she loves Alonissos.
