Day Four: The Island of Aegina
Freedom to Explore & Timeless Beauty
Wake up to the soft rhythm of island life — the scent of sea breeze, the sound of fishing boats returning to port, and sunlight glistening on the Aegean. Today is all yours to explore the captivating island of Aegina at your own pace.
We’ll provide you with an exclusive self-guided tour, crafted by locals who know every hidden corner of the island. Follow our curated route to discover ancient temples, charming villages, and secluded beaches, with suggestions for the best tavernas and cafés along the way.
You can easily get around using the island’s convenient bus network, or, for added flexibility, we can arrange a car or e-bike rental so you can venture deeper into Aegina’s countryside — through pistachio groves, pine forests, and winding coastal roads with unforgettable sea views.
A highlight of your day will be a visit to the Temple of Aphaia, dating back to 500–490 BC — one of the best-preserved temples in all of Greece. Standing on a hilltop overlooking the sea, it’s an awe-inspiring reminder of the island’s ancient significance and serene beauty.
Take the day exactly as you wish — sleep in and enjoy a leisurely seaside coffee, or rise early to explore the island’s quiet heart before the world awakens. Whatever your pace, we’ll ensure you have everything you need to make it perfect.
As evening falls, indulge in dinner at one of our recommended seaside tavernas, where the catch of the day and a chilled glass of Assyrtiko set the scene for another unforgettable night in Aegina.
