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.
1. Leave from Athens with a car and go to the port of Piraeus. 2. Take the boat for 1 hour in order to reach the island of Aegina. 3. Walk around the capital and visit the ancient port with it's prehistoric settlement. 4. Take a cab in order to visit one of the best preserved ancient temples of Greece. The temple, dedicated to the goddess Aphaia, is a masterpiece of classical Greek architecture, its simplicity and grace evoking a sense of timelessness. 5. Visit the biggest church of Greece dedicated to the St patron of the island and see the medieval capital of the island crowded with tiny chapels! 6. Return to the town with it's narrow alleys for lunch and some shopping. The island is famous for its pistachios, which are grown in abundance and considered some of the best in the world. 7. Take the hydrofoil 40' back to Athens.
