Enjoy the traditional flavors of Aegina at local restaurants, featuring high-quality ingredients and delicious recipes. We highly recommend the port of Aegina for fresh fish. Must-try dishes: orzo with seafood and shrimp pasta. At the port of Perdika, apart from fish, you’ll enjoy traditional homemade pies and spoon sweets. The best and most “home-style” cooked meals can be found in the region of Aeginitissa. If you’re in the mood to try local meats, the mountainous region of Aegina won’t disappoint.

Aegina offers a wide variety of activities for nature and culture lovers. Visit the Temple of Aphaia, one of the finest creations of ancient architecture, and Paleochora, the medieval capital of the island, which is perfect for hiking, climbing, and endless strolls to enjoy breathtaking views. Make sure you also visit the Monastery of Saint Nectarios, the island’s patron saint. Explore the historic corners of the town center and Perdika, Aegina’s picturesque fishing village. Alternatively, enjoy hiking on the trails or water sports on the sandy beaches.

Aegina is known for its stunning beaches with turquoise waters and golden sands. The island boasts beaches with all the amenities for dining and beach bars, such as Aiginitsa and Agia Marina. Beyond the main beach in Agia Marina, there are small secluded coves perfect for cliff diving. In Marathonas, you can find two beaches within 500 meters, equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, as well as open spaces to avoid the crowds. The most unique organized beach is on the road to the fishing village of Perdika, called Klima or Kleidi, combining sand, pebbles, and crystal-clear waters. The island of Moni is an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility, thanks to its idyllic setting with turquoise waters and its unique inhabitants, including friendly peacocks, deer, and wild goats.
