Highlights
-
Aegina - The island of Aegina, the Saronic Gulf’s second most expansive island, derives its name from a figure in Greek mythology, Aegina, the daughter of the deity Asopos. She captured the heart of Zeus, who spirited her away to the isle then known as Oinoni, which subsequently took on the name Aegina.
Temple at Aigina
(Greek á¼Ïαία) was a deity revered solely within this holy precinct. The standing temple, dating back to around 500 BC, was constructed atop the site of a prior temple from around 570 BC, which succumbed to flames around 510 BC. Components of this earlier, incinerated temple were interred in the fill used to level the ground for the newer temple’s broader terrace, thereby preserving them well. Numerous pieces still bear visible remnants of their original coloration. It’s possible that an even earlier temple existed here in the 7th century BC, believed to have been considerably more modest in both design and construction. A significant collection of Late Bronze Age statuettes has been unearthed at this location.

Fun boat trip - We had a group of 7 & all of us really enjoyed our day! The staff was so friendly & pleasant. The men workers were very good about helping us older ladies on & off the boat at stops. The food was perfect; really delicious. In fact, your Greek salad was the best I had the whole trip!
