Itinéraire
Egine est une île charmante située à proximité d'Athènes. C'est pourquoi il devient très populaire comme destination de week-end pour les Athéniens. Les sites touristiques les plus populaires sont Agia Marina, Souvala et Marathon avec des plages propices à la détente, tandis que le village balnéaire de Perdika est très agréable. Le site le plus important d'Egine en Grèce est l'ancien temple d'Athéna Aphaia, construit au 6ème siècle avant JC.
Le temple d'Aphaia est l'une des principales attractions que l'on peut voir sur l'île d'Égine. Construit sur une colline, à 160 mètres d'altitude, il est entouré de pins et se distingue par son énergie unique. Depuis la préhistoire (1300 av. J.-C.), c'est un lieu de culte unique!
À la limite sud de l'île se trouve le petit village de pêcheurs de Perdika. C’est peut-être l’un des endroits les plus pittoresques de l’île et conserve les caractéristiques du style égéen de maisons carrées et de rues étroites. Beaucoup de tavernes à manger du poisson. De là, vous pouvez prendre un petit bateau pour l'île de Moni.
L'un des sites les plus visités d'Egine est l'église d'Agios Nektarios. Agios Nektarios était connu comme un grand faiseur de miracles, en particulier comme guérisseur de toutes sortes de maladies. Il était également un écrivain, théologien, théologien, philosophe, moraliste, éducateur, poète ascète et mystique prolifique.
FACULTATIF : Une courte promenade en bateau à l'île de Moni (OU à l'île d'Égine) pour nager dans l'eau cristalline. Cela nécessite du temps supplémentaire et une journée plus longue, avec un coût supplémentaire de 50 à 110 EUR, selon le nombre de personnes.

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour to the Aegina Island. Panayiotis is a wonderful tour guide who is very knowledgeable and kind. Aegina is a much quieter island compared to Santorini and Mykonos which is the perfect to place to relax your mind. I will definitely book with this company for future trips. You will not be disappointed.
Full day experience of local island 1 hr ferry ride from Athens. Much better than spending most of your time on boat island hopping. Good balance of sightseeing and time to experience local restaurants/shopping.
This 8 hour tour is amazing. The ruins are magnificent and the scenery spectacular. What made this tour special was our tour guide Panayiotis. His knowledge of Greek Mythology and familiarity of Greece is unmatched. I cannot say enough positive things about him and the tour company but would recommend to anyone who is looking for a wonderful 8 hour private tour of the island, experience the best pistachios and pistachio ice cream you won't find a better company
Thank you!
This is a great way to see Aegina in a single day and learn while doing it. Theo was a great guide and was knowledgeable about the island. Would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you, Sam!
Our family had a wonderful time in Aegina!! Our tour guide Panos was absolutely hilarious, no other way to put it. He elevated our experience to another level with his greatly appreciated commentary. We saw a diverse range of sites at a perfect pace and received a lovely lunch recommendation from Panos. Beautiful landscapes and views, divine pistachio ice cream, highly recommend. Thanks!!
We are very pleased that you've enjoyed Panos' company and assistance in exploring and having fun on Aegina Island. Thank you for choosing our agency for your tour to this authentic Greek Island.
We had a wonderful tour of Aegina with our tour guide Panagiotis. He was very knowledgeable about the island and was very professional. He took care of all logistics and recommended a lovely restaurant for lunch. We are a family of 5 and we highly recommend this private tour. It was a perfect day! PK
Hi, Perella and family! Thank you very much for the very nice review. Panayiotis had a great time with you all. We hope to see you again.
The guide was extremely accommodating and helpful. In addition to being well-versed in the local history.
Nice! Thank you very much.
We recently had the pleasure of joining this tour, and it exceeded all our expectations! From start to finish, the experience was flawless, thanks to the thoughtfully designed itinerary, breathtaking views, and the expertise of our guide, Panayiotis. This tour is a must for history enthusiasts and those with an interest in religious heritage. We highly recommend it!
Thank you very much for taking the time to review your experience at Aegina Island. Panayiotis is a knowledgeable and passionate guide. Thanks for taking this tour with our agency.
We have visited multiple temples in Greece. The Parthenon atop the Acropolis, the Temple of Hephaistos next to the ancient Agora in Athens, and the temple of Poseidon in Sounion are but the highlights. The Temple of Concordia, in Agrigento Sicily by the way is another wonder and is still on my bucket list. But what a pleasant surprise this temple on Aigina was. Firstly, it only took a 1-hour and 15 minute ferry ride to get to the island from Pireus. Then no more than 20 minutes to drive and visit the Cathedral of St. Nektarios and another short drive to the Temple of Athina. Mind you, we went in October so there wasn't so much traffic and tourism and the weather was just right. Driving to St. Nektarios was easy and the visit itself was quick. The facilities are well kept. Check out the grounds and the garden areas. Beautiful. Please be mindful that women need to wear trousers or a long skirt. If you don't have one, there are some long make-shift skirts that you can wear over your shorts in front of the entrance at the cathedral. Following a visit to the cathedral, it only takes another 10 minutes or so to drive the temple of Athina. In October you are sure to find a place to park in front of the grounds entrance. Tourist buses may take up lots of space so just be prepared to park further down the road during the busy season. But on this particular visit we had the whole place to ourselves. The grounds have been renovated to offer better access to the public. And I must say, that the temple itself is equally very well preserved. Oh, and the view is simply stunning! Our ancient forefathers surely knew how to pick the best spots! Take some time to soak it all in. There is the quiet of nature to be heard. Simply delightful. And on this occasion, I am glad I didn't make too much fuss for not having visited the Acropolis because the Temple of Athina was a first for me and certainly didn't disappoint!
Thank you very much. Aegina (the ... Pistachio Island) is not a touristy place that foreign visitors know about. However, as you discovered, there is so much to explore and enjoy! You are surrounded by mostly locals, which makes it an authentic and easy-to-visit from Atehns "water" destination. The Temple of Athena Aphaia is unique and has a fantastic location. Thank you for taking this tour with us and elaborating on your great review.
The tour was modified to suit our requirements with no fuss. It was a special day and nothing was too difficult for Panagiotis. My cousin and I truly enjoyed ourselves and the service was top notch. Thank you for a very memorable day.
Thank you very much ladies. We are happy to know that you appreciated Panayiotis' efforts to adjust to your needs.
