Discovering Aegina

Once in Aegina, just a short walk from the harbor, you can visit the charming chapel of St. Nicholas, noted for its quaint size and its distinctive white and blue construction. Strolling through the delightful pathways of the village, you will encounter Markellos Tower, which functioned as a government building during 1826 and 1827.

Your exploration of Aegina should also include the temple of Afaya, dating back to between 500 and 490 BC, as well as the ruins of the temple of Apollo. The latter is situated on "Kolona" hill, named for its column-like structure. Historians suggest it originally featured 11 columns on its sides and 6 at either end. From this elevated position, visitors can relish stunning views over the Aegean Sea.

Activities in Athens

For those visiting Athens, a trip to the iconic Acropolis, emblematic of Classical Greece, is essential. As you navigate this renowned site, you will encounter the majestic Parthenon, the Erechtheion alongside its caryatids, and the historic Theatre of Dionysus, which dates back to the 5th century BC.

Additionally, take time to explore Plaka, often referred to as the "neighborhood of the gods". Its narrow cobbled streets, vibrant homes, and traditional taverns create a nostalgic atmosphere. Interestingly, remnants of ancient Athens lie beneath the very streets of this enchanting district.
