Aegina Island
Aegina is a small island with a big heart, nestled in the Saronic Gulf just an hour from Athens.

Olive groves, pistachio trees, and turquoise waters shape its landscape, while its laid-back rhythm offers a true escape from the noise of the city. Whether wandering through its picturesque port, exploring hidden coves, or enjoying fresh seafood by the sea, Aegina invites you to slow down and feel at home.
Places you can Visit
Apheas Temple
The Temple of Aphaia is a 5th-century BC Doric temple on Aegina, dedicated to the goddess Aphaia. Set on a hilltop, it offers panoramic views and is part of the ancient sacred triangle with the Parthenon and the Temple of Poseidon.
Apolo Temple
also known as Kolona, is an ancient sanctuary located near the port of Aegina town. Built around the 6th century BCE, it was dedicated to Apollo, the god of light and music. Today, only one standing column remains, giving the site its modern name ("Kolona" means "column" in Greek). It offers a scenic view and insight into early Greek temple architecture.
Ancient Olive Grove
is located near the village of Sfentouri and is one of the island’s oldest natural landmarks. Some of the olive trees here are estimated to be over 1,500 years old, with gnarled trunks and massive roots that reflect their age. The grove offers a peaceful, almost mystical atmosphere, connecting visitors with the island’s agricultural history and timeless landscape.
