#Islands
Day yacht charter trip to Aegina

Take to the seas with a visit to the charming nearby island of Aegina on your own private yacht. The biggest of the Saronic Golf islands is a favourite of Athenians for many reasons. Firstly, it is very close by– the voyage from the port of Piraeus to Aegina is a mere 40 minutes, a pleasant crossing. Secondly, Aegina, with its pistachio groves and pine woods, is strikingly beautiful. Aegina has always been a vibrant, busy port, and, at one point, it was even the capital of Greece. Today it is the place to go to for the authentic Greek island experience. Main drawcards include the V century Temple of Aphaia, Agios Nektarios Monastery and Byzantine Paleohora ruins.
