Aegina
– Top yacht charter destination
Think
pistachio nuts, horse-drawn carriages, a Venetian castle,
neoclassical architecture, imposing ancient ruins, white Orthodox
churches, lovely beaches and warm water. Aegina is in easy reach of
the islands of Kea, Kythnos, Poros and Hydra, making it a great
choice for a stopover. While it gets busy in summer, you’ll be able
to avoid the crowds aboard your yacht, finding private spots to pause
and drink in the beauty while relaxing in luxury.
Aegina
– Things to do
Aegina
is home to one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece.
The Temple of Aphaea, which stands on a mountaintop above the town of
Agia Marina, was dedicated to Aphaea, a local goddess from the
island. Head up there and capture some spectacular photographs –
and memories – with your loved ones. Mere minutes from Aegina is
idyllic Moni
island, uninhabited by humans but home to wild goats, deer and
peacocks which stroll onto the beach in search of snacks. The sea is
clear and warm, offering superb snorkelling conditions, and the pine
trees provide welcome shade.
Aegina – Gourmet experience
Because of its proximity to Athens, restaurant standards on the island are high. In Perdika, try the octopus, calamari and fresh salads at Remetzo and the freshly caught fish Miltos. Kriton Gefsis in Aegina town is the place to go for steak that melts in your mouth. Also in the main town, stylish Dromaki serves Mediterranean dishes, including goat and rooster in wine – at tables set right on the sand.
Aegina – Nightlife
Muzik Café, overlooking the port in Perdika, is a great spot for sundowners while Aegina Maris Beach Bar, in Egina, has spectacular views over the bay and is great for a romantic drink. For a proper night out until the wee hours, chic Barrera Cocktail Bar in Egina, on the west coast, serves an array of drinks and stays open until 5am in summer.
