Your destination
About Aegina
Aegina is forty minutes from Athens and behaves accordingly. People commute from it, weekend on it and buy their pistachios from it, and the ferry runs like a bus route rather than a holiday service. The one thing worth deciding before you book is which of the island's two ports your boat is going to, because they are on opposite coasts.
