• AIGINA
  Aegina was named after the daughter of the river God, Asopus.  Aegina Town lies on the island?s west coast and is the capital and main port of the island.
  
  The harbour front road is a speedway; it is lined with traditional caiques and lots of yachts in summer. Also, there are many cafes and restaurants ideal for relaxing on the waterfront and in the maze of the streets behind.
  
  When you enter the harbour, the small, white church of Saint Nikolas welcomes you.
  Your first impression is the modern type classical buildings, which are located along the sea front of the island.
  
  Take a ride on the horses and the carriages, walk in the narrow, paved streets and see the traditional houses, the churches with the blue domes and the shops with folk art.
  Don't miss seeing the fish-market, the traditional restaurants that serve snacks with ouzo (a Greek drink), also, the fishing boats, which are not only used for fishing but for selling groceries as well.
  And finally don't forget to buy the famous peanuts of Aegina.
  
  
  Near the port, on the left is an archaeological place called «Kolones» known for its one and only pillars (kolona in Greek), the only remaining thing from the temple of Apollo Delfiniou. The hill of Kolones was the Acropolis and the religious centre of the ancient city. Today on the hill of Kolona, there is the archaeological museum of Aegina, which many findings from the excavations are displayed there
  
  The impressive Temple of Aphaia, a local deity of Pre- Hellenic times, is the major ancient site of the Saronic Gulf islands. It was built in 480BC, when Aegina was at its political height. Aphaia is 10 km east to Aegina Town. Buses to Agia Marina stop at the site or you can sail to Agia Marina and moor there.
  
  The temple of Aphaia is built in the northern part of the island in a place covered with pine trees and with a view of the beautiful blue sea.It's in a very good condition. Twenty-four pillars of the temple remain, out of a total of 34.
  It has been built in 480 b.c. just after the naval battle in Salamina.
  Pafsanias gives us more information about Aphaia from some traditions in Crete.According to those, Vritomartis was born from Zeus and Karmi and because she liked hunting very much, Goddess Artemis was fond of her.
  Minoas fell in love with Virtomartis and in order to get away from him, she fell into the sea where she got tangled up in some fishermen's nets and they took her with them on their ship.
  
  But on the ship, a sailor fell in love with Vritomartis so she was forced to fall into the sea again in order to get away from him and she managed to swim to the island.
  The girl headed towards the forest of the island and the sailors watched her from the ship as she was vanishing with some kind of holy intervention and that's why they named her Aphaia from the word ?afandos? which in Greek means that someone has vanished into thin air.
  When the atmosphere is clear, you can see Poseidon's temple in Sounio and the Acropolis of Athens.
  
  It is said that the 3 temples form a triangle (the holy triangle of ancient times).

• ANGKISTRI
      
  Agistri along with Aegina and the neighboring islands consisted of the Kingdom of Aegina of the mythical King Aeakos.  According to Homer, Agistri was called Kekrifalia, which means "adorned head" and appears as an ally of Aegina during the Trojan War.
  
  Other historians who mention the island are Thucydides and Diodorus. Kadoudi, Megaritsa and Kodari are of archaeological interest.  Throughout the whole of the island's west coast there are antiquities situated just below the sea surface.
     
  There are various archaeological findings in Megalochori at the Cultural Center.These findings indicate that the island was first inhibited at least starting from the 5th century B.C. by Peloponnesians who came to the island.
  
  In general, concerning the island's history not much has been recorded by historians.
  At times, in its more recent history, roughly in the 14th century, Agistri received many settlers from the coasts of Peloponnese, situated right across it. Later on, Agistri became a part of the Ottoman Empire. At the end of the 17th century, the inhabitants left the island, due to frequent raiding by pirates.
  
     
  In 1821 the island was yet again inhadited by a small number of people. In 1835 the Community of Agistri was formed by Royal Decree.
  According to the inventory that took place at the time, there were 248 inhabitants. Until 1940 the island's inhabitants remained few.
     
  After 1940, the number started increasing and today it has more than 1.000 inhaditants, which, during the summer reach up to 5.000.
  
  Until 1960 the island became directly connected to Piraeus and in 1973 electricity was supplid to the island.
  
  Agistri alone consists of the most important sight of the Saronic Gulf. Just 45 minutes off Piraeus and 10 minutes from Aegina is the small paradise of the Saronic sea, with its hospitable people and its emerald waters.
     
  You must visit all of its beaches, and most definitely Chalikiada, Aponissos and Dragonera.
  It is also worth visiting the various archaeological findings at the Cultural Center of Megalochori and the Churches.
  
  Beaches: Skala, Megalochori, Skliri / Chalikiada, Dragonera, Mareza, Aponissos
