The Marκellοs Tower dates from the 17th century, as it is considered to be part of the fortifications that protected the harbor and used by the Venetians as a watchtower. In 1802 the tower was renovated by Aeginean. During the revolution of 1821 the Tower of Markellos hosted Greek freedom-fighters and politicians. From 1826 onwards, it hosted the Temporary Government, the Deputy Commitee (1827), the National Fund and the Government House, while during the Kapodistrias’ administration it hosted various ministers.

i couldn't add the real location so I added my office. This step is about the Cathedral of Aegina , It is the first Cathedral of Modern Free Greece, three-aisled with three red domes. In the Metropolitan church, the Aegineans welcomed the governor Kapodistrias on January 11, 1828, and a few days later, on 28 January, Kapodistrias’ inauguration ceremony was held as the first Governor of the Greek State and the Panhellenic Council that constituted the interim Governmental committee.

A comprehensive walking tour of the island’s history and culture and geography. Tassos was extremely knowledgeable and brought great energy to the tour! We loved seeing the streets, churches, port, museums, and ruins before concluding with drinks at a restaurant. I have never been on a tour where I got the chance to sit down and talk with the tour guide. He was such a kind and personable local who made this tour AMAZING!!
Unknown and beautiful island with crystal clear waters, history, tranquility. It is worth approaching as it does not take long from Athens.
Maria was so knowledgeable which made our tour of Aegina so great. I would highly recommend this tour with Maria to anyone interested in learning about this wonderful island
thank you very much Matthew. We hope to see you soon
My friend and I booked this 3 hr walking tour in Aegina. The young guide met us at the pier and took us through town to the museum and his knowledge of the antiquities wqa amazing and very interesting. We saw Kovolos, the ancient church and walked through the streets of the town. All the while he was giving us information, te Ling stories and answering our questions. A really great tour well done.
The guide was excellent, a young local licensed professional guide, a native of the island. A true connoisseur of the place. Tour was relaxed and pleasant, very nice museum and temple. Equally nice tour in the neighborhood, hints about what to visit next on solo, about history, traditions and local food. Thanks for a great experience!
We were in Aegina for 3 days and wanted to learn about the island before relaxing on beach. This tour was perfect for our needs. Our guide Tasso is a highly intelligent, extremely knowledgeable and friendly person making for the perfect guide. He is so well informed and passionate about this island he grew up on. He answered all our questions with in depth explanations and gave deep, thoughtful and detailed information. Walking Tour was about 3 hours but Tassos made sure we had cold water and rest stops when needed. We ended with a drink, yummy appetizers and fantastic conversation. So glad we booked this tour- we highly recommend!
Our guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and you can tell he has a live for his island. We learned so much!
We knew nothing of Aegina but decided to go over for the day as it was so close to Athens (40 minutes by fast ferry from Piraeus). So glad we did the town walking tour. It is a beautiful place and very different pace and vibe to Athens. Our guide Tassos was very friendly and knowledgeable being a local. We had a good cross section of very old history and modern culture. Thanks to Tassos and Aegina Dream Travel for a memorable experience. Would recommend to anyone.
Great experience! Got to learn so much about this beautiful island. Provide better description on meeting point.
Tassos was delightful - you could tell he cares about his island and gave a great tour and answered all our questions
deeply appreciated . Hope to see you again
