Aegina is a place of rich history. You will find signs of that everywhere: in the archeological sites, in the temple of Aphaia, in the archaeological, historical and folkore museum, when you wander through the medieval village of Paleochora, visit the historic monasteries or look at the imposing mansions and the building of the Kapodistrian (the first governor of Greece) period. Most of the sights on Aegina are easy accessible or join the panoramic bus tour in summer and get a glimpse of them in just 3 hours........

For those who like walking, Aegina is the perfect destination. From mid September to the end of May the weather is great for walking. Since last year some old walking paths have been marked by Evangelia Rekliti (and the group Energon Politon). The routes are described on a collection of 6 leaflets with different walking routes, that you can buy at the local bookstores in Aegina for € 5. The leaflets are in Greek. In a few weeks you will find the leaflets also in English on this website. Next to that you will find photo impressions of different walks on Aegina. If you discover Aegina on foot you can experience the richness of its flora and the extremely beautiful scenery.

Eleonas - The Olive Grove of Aegina, unknown to most, is situated on a mountainous basin, invisible and desolate. The monastery - to which the area belongs - has managed to maintain the olive trees which are considered ancient as they are estimated to be between 1,000 and 1,500 years old. The documentary traces the life of the place, describes its wild fauna and abandoned flora, while presenting those images that these strange trunks awake in us all.
