Aegina has it all, seafood tavernas, small pebbly beaches, archaeological sites, and a yachting lifestyle. It is also of historical importance as from 1827-1829, Aegina Town was the temporary capital of the newly formed Greek state.
Visitors tend to be attracted to Aegina for the archaeological sites. The Temple of Aphea Athena is a 500 B.C. Doric site located near the small town of Agia Marina and one of three historical Greek monuments that form the so-called “holy triangle” of antiquity; the Parthenon in Athens and the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion being the other two. You can also visit one of the largest monasteries in the Balkans, the Monastery of Saint Nektarios, to admire its architectural magnificence.
Souvala fishing village in the north offers thermal hot springs that have been known to help with rheumatism and other various dermatological problems.
