Aegina peacefull and beautiful island in greece

Aegina is definitely worth a visit! This charming island, rich in history and blessed with natural beauty, offers something for everyone. Aegina is not just about clear, blue waters and sun-drenched beaches. It’s an island that perfectly blends the tranquility of traditional Greek life with vibrant local cuisine, all set within a landscape that boasts ancient temples and scenic trails. From the historical Temple of Aphaia to the bustling local markets offering the famed Aegina pistachios, the island enthralls every sense. Visit Sarpa or Kleidi beaches in Perdika for a great time. You can swim until sunset, relax on sunbeds, enjoy lounge music, and savor the best dakos (Cretan salad) you’ve ever tasted. If you’re not into shopping, sit for a coffee at Remvi at Nisos, located at the island’s port, and let your partner roam the narrow alleys. The highlight? The accessory store named “Fistiki” (it means pistachio, you didn’t see that coming, did you?). How to get here: The easiest way to get to Aegina is to catch the ferry from the port of Piraeus in Athens. The island is just 1 hour away and it's the perfect destination for a day trip or long weekend trip. I bought the ticket over the counter nearby the Piraeus port.
