Aegina's Absolute Essentials

Aegina served as the first capital of modern Greece and preserves a dense history ranging from prehistoric settlements to Venetian towers. This list highlights the 5th-century BC Temple of Aphaea, which forms a sacred triangle with the Parthenon and Sounion, alongside the massive Monastery of Saint Nektarios. Visitors can explore the submerged ruins of the ancient naval port, the neoclassical architecture of the main town, and the mountain sanctuary of Hellanius Zeus, which offers archaeological remains at the island's highest point.
