Itinerary

Aegina Island Guided Day Trip from Athens

Visit a historic monastery, the Temple of Athena Aphaia, sandy shores, and explore Aegina town

Your tour begins at the Port of Piraeus

Meet your guide at 8:30 AM outside the 5 Star Café at Gate E8, near Piraeus Metro Station. After check-in, board the 9:00 AM ferry for a scenic ride across the Saronic Gulf to Aegina Island.

Visit Agios Nektarios Monastery

Explore this peaceful monastery founded in the early 1900s by Bishop Nektarios, one of Greece's most revered modern saints. Walk the courtyards and learn about the miracles attributed to Saint Nektarios's tomb.

Explore the Temple of Athena Aphaia

Visit one of Greece's best-preserved ancient temples from the 5th century BCE. Perched on pine-clad hills, this sanctuary offers stunning sea views and mythological tales tied to the goddess Aphaia.

Swim at Agia Marina Beach

Cool off with a swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Saronic Gulf. This golden-sand beach offers Athenian coast views and is perfect for relaxing under the Mediterranean sun between sightseeing stops.

Stroll through Aegina Town

Wander the island's capital with its neoclassical buildings and narrow streets. Browse the lively fish market, shop for world-famous pistachios at waterfront stalls, and enjoy free time for lunch at a taverna.

Your tour finishes back at the Port of Piraeus

Board the ferry back to Piraeus after a full day of exploration. You'll return to the meeting point with memories of ancient temples, monastery bells, and the sweet crunch of Aegina pistachios.
