Overview

Traveling to Aegina island is one the easiest and best island getaways but also a real Greek experience. A perfect PRIVATE day trip to the pristine beaches of an authentic destination without the "hordes of tourists" but with small scale beauty and simplicity. Looking for an authentic experience? The island feel, the food, the history? It is all there!
Start with a hotel pick up to the port of Piraeus, then a great boat ride enjoying the views from the ferry's decks. Explore this pine green island with your private driver/guide and with full flexibility that a private tour offers. A relaxing island in the Saronic Gulf facing Athens with small fishing villages, and a "swimming pool like" water.
Visit the island's famous St Nektarios monastery, explore the Perdika fishing village, and the Temple of Athena Aphaia with the amazing views. Let your guide recommend the best location for an authentic lunch right next to the water.
Enjoy an undistracted sunset while cruising back to Athens.
