Day Cruise: Aegina Island - 3rd Stop
So this is our third and final stop before we head back to Athens. Aegina island is known for their pistachio cultivation, and it was also home to The Temple of Apollo and the Temple of Aphaea. The temple of Aphaea is still standing and was dedicated to a local goddess. You can still see the remains of the temple of Apollo. We did not take the option to go on an additional tour of the island so we did not see the Temple .Instead, we walked around the island ...

Some people did the Donkey ride but most didn’t. A ...
A TRIP TO AN ISLAND.....
... by Barge. The tap water has quite an unpleasant taste, making it undesirable for drinking. Hydra is a relatively close 40 nautical miles from Athens, making it a popular weekend stop for Athenians. The principal source of revenue is tourism, and there are a variety of accommodations on the island, mostly near the Port area. Except for a garbage truck and one other vehicle, no cars or motor bikes are allowed on the island. All goods come in by sea, with the ...
