Even though the island small, it boasts a great number of sights and natural beauties, and one of the highlights is the famous ancient Greek Aphaea Temple. Aegina town, the capital of the island, stands out for its well-preserved buildings. On the outskirts you can find charming little villages with distinctive traditional character, such as Kypseli, Agii and Vagia as well as organized tourist resorts like Agia Marina, Perdika, and Souvala.
Aègina is also surrounded by many smaller islands (Moni, Metopi, Diaportia, Lagouses, Kyra, Dorousa, Spalathonisi, Anonyma) that can be reached by boat from the port of Aegina.

BREATH-taking! Even without seeing your pictures, visiting Greece has been on my "bucket list," but this confirms it!! I especially love the little café picture. So simple and so beautiful. Glad I stopped by here today!! (visiting via WW)
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to forget in my gardening days that somewhere in the world the sun is shining on beautiful scenery of wonderfully clear blue water, hills covered with myrtle, adventures waiting to happen. Lovely photos, wish I were there.
