If you are wondering what to do a very hot day in Athens or just want to take the ferry to islands but you\u00a0 have to be back the same day, we have (another one, to be honest) ideal solution for you: A day trip to Aegena island, only 40 minutes from Piraeus port.<\/p>\n

Walk among\u00a0 the pedestrian roads and beautiful neoclassical and mansion houses and the picturesque harbour. If you have more time, visit smaller villages, discover the impressive ancient olive grove, the archaeological site of Vagia -ideal for the sunset time, the monastery of Agios Nektarios, the patron saint of the island. If you like hiking, it is very easy to climb to the top, Profitis Ilias, and see the island from above, as well as the smaller island of Moni, which in summer becomes one of the most touristic beaches of Attica. Of course, don’t forget to try and take with you the famous local product of the island: peanuts!<\/p>\n

Bonus\u00a0 history fact: Do you know that Athens wasn’t always the capital of Greece? On 1838, January 11th, Ioannis Kapodistrias transfer the capital of independent Greece to the small, but beautiful, island of Aegina.<\/p>\n
