Aegina

Aegina is the closest large island to Athens — just 90 minutes by sail from Alimos Marina — and known nationally for its pistachios, considered the best in Greece. The harbour town keeps its 19th-century neoclassical architecture from when Aegina briefly served as the first capital of modern Greece in 1827. On the hill above the eastern coast stands the 5th-century-BC Temple of Aphaia, one of the best-preserved ancient temples in the Aegean. The southern coast holds quiet swimming bays at Marathonas and Perdika, the latter a fishing village famous for fresh seafood. Aegina is 90 minutes from Athens. Season runs April through October.
