Overview

Sail to the beautiful island of Aigina on this full-day boat tour from Athens. Just a short cruise across the Saronic Gulf, Aigina offers a perfect blend of ancient history, charming village life, stunning beaches, and Greece's finest pistachios.

Aigina has been inhabited for over 4,000 years and was once a major maritime power in ancient Greece. The island's crown jewel is the Temple of Aphaia, built around 500 BC on a pine-covered hilltop overlooking the sea. This remarkably preserved Doric temple is part of a sacred triangle with the Parthenon and the Temple of Poseidon at Sounio.

The island's main town is a delight to explore, with its neoclassical buildings, bustling fish market, and pistachio shops on every corner. Aigina pistachios are considered among the finest in the world, and tasting them freshly harvested is a highlight of any visit.

The charming fishing village of Perdika on the island's southern tip offers some of the best waterfront dining in the Saronic Gulf. Sitting at a taverna overlooking the tiny island of Moni while enjoying fresh seafood is the quintessential Greek island experience.
