Aegina
Aegina is one of the closest and beautiful islands. The island has wonderful beaches and attractions. If you go for the first time do not miss to visit the Church of Saint Nektarios and definitely make a city trip with the carriage. We suggest you take a swim in the Loutra of Souvala, a small quiet beach with beautiful sandy beaches.
Aegina island of Greece
Welcome to Aegina. Aegina island’s most complete tourist travel guide. Aegina (Aigina, Egina, Egine, Ägina) is located 26 km / 16 miles below Athens, is part of the Saronic islands group and can easily be reached within 40 minutes from Piraeus. I am excited to introduce you to the magic of Aegina!
I first visited the island in 1988 and returned several times before I decided to make the bold move to relocate myself with my dog & cat in 2001. I followed my heart and I am still very happy with probably the best decision I’ve ever made. Since 2002, I have been sharing my love for this little Greek paradise through Aegina Greece with millions of people.
Learn why Aegina is the perfect vacation destination, why a day or weekend trip to experience some Greek island life is easy to combine with your Athens City trip and learn why Aegina is a fantastic place to live for those who want to be away from it all! Discover Aegina, the island that is still Greek and not spoiled by mass tourism.

The beaches of Aegina
Aegina has a big variety of beaches, you can find them all around the island. There are sandy beaches with and without beach bars, sunbeds and umbrellas, beaches with shallow water and beach sites where you can jump in deep waters. Beaches with sunbeds operate normally from around 1/2 May until 1/2 September (this year due to changes in the law, the licenses have not been given yet to all beaches). Don’t miss Moni, the little inhabited island which is located opposite Perdika and that can be reached by boat.
