Aegina / Agkistri

Just a short sail from Athens, Aegina and Agkistri offer a refreshing escape into the Saronic Gulf — where pine forests meet turquoise seas and ancient history blends with island simplicity. These two islands are a haven for those who crave sun-soaked beaches, traditional Greek flavors, and swimming in crystal-clear waters.

Cruise first to Agkistri, a lush, green island fringed with hidden coves. Drop anchor at Aponisos, an islet connected by a narrow path, where the sea glows in impossible shades of blue. Chalikiada Beach offers a more secluded experience, ideal for tranquil sunbathing or snorkeling along its rocky edges.

Continue to Aegina, known for its neoclassical port town and world-famous pistachios. But the coastline also impresses — from Perdika’s calm waters to Moni Island just across the channel, where deer roam freely and secluded beaches await. A visit to Agia Marina or a swim beneath the cliffs of Kolona Beach offers both beauty and history in one frame.

Whether for a day trip or leisurely stopover, Aegina and Agkistri deliver authentic island charm with just the right touch of sophistication.
