Overview of your Athens tour:

These trees cannot adjust to lesser sky, these stones cannot adjust beneath the tread of strangers, these faces cannot adjust unless they feel the sun, these hearts cannot adjust unless they live in justice. ( G. Ritsos) Aegina. This small island in the Saronic Gulf, barely an hour’s ferry ride from Athens, is a place where time seems to slow down, where the modern world hums gently in the background, but the whispers of ancient stories are never far away. This tour is about discovering one of the prettiest Greek islands in the Saronic gulf, and take a taste of the easy going life in a small town! Yet, it’s the ruins that give Aegina its soul, remnants of a past that refuses to be forgotten. Perched high on a hill, the Temple of Aphaia stands like a silent sentinel, its ancient columns still reaching for the heavens after centuries of storms and sun. Aegina’s relaxed vibe, coupled with its rich historical heritage, makes it an ideal destination for both history enthusiasts and those seeking peace by the sea.
