Aigina
A few words about Aigina
Aegina is one of the Saronic Islands of Greece . The island, along with offshore islets, comprises the Municipality of Aegina in Piraeus Prefecture, a part of the Attica region. Due to its proximity to Athens, it is a popular quick getaway during the summer months.
In the enchanting atmosphere of the night you can have fun and dance at the clubs in town. The buildings in Aegina have a neoclassical architecture with folk elements. They were built during the 19th century and remind us that Aegina were once the capital city of Greece for two years.
