Aegina town


Aegina town, where the main port is , is 14 kms from Aghia Marina and can be easily reached by local bus. The fish market on the front, opposite the harbour is worth a visit. The harbour is crescent shaped and there are plenty of cafes and tavernas.

The town of Aegina is built in a neo-classical style. Wander through the little streets behind the boulevard and go around for some nice shopping.

Pass the time watching the small fishing boats (caiques) unloading, and in the evening you can watch the sun set on the waterfront, perhaps joining the locals over a glass of Ouzo. At the southern end of town is the statue of Capodistrias - hero of the struggle to liberate the island from the grip of the Ottomans.
