The Greek Reporter found that Aegina remains the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/greece.greekreporter.com\/2019\/05\/01\/where-history-meets-leisure-on-aegina-island-athens-closest-escape\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">favourite island of Athenians<\/a>\u00a0looking to get away, and it\u2019s for a good reason. Thousands of years of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aeginagreece.com\/aegina-island\/the-best-spots-to-photograph-on-the-aegina-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">culture and beautiful scenery<\/a> are packed into 87 square kilometers, meaning you\u2019ll never get bored, but you&#8217;ll also never have to travel far. As a result, travelling by motorbike can be a great way to experience the island.<\/strong><span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 20px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Vehicle flexibility<\/h2>\n<p>For those who haven\u2019t ridden much in the past, there is a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nadaguides.com\/Motorcycles\/shopping-guides\/what-are-the-different-types-of-motorcycles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">great variety of motorcycles<\/a>, each suited for a different purpose. But when it comes to Aegina, the beauty is that anything will do: an\u00a0off-road\u00a0bike will do the same job as a modern sports variant. The island is not particularly mountainous, with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.themayor.eu\/en\/aegina-island-athens-most-beautiful-escape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">highest peak reaching 532m<\/a>, according to mayoral community website, TheMayor.EU. With that in mind, a motorbike will take you halfway up the highest point on the island, meaning the walk itself will be short \u2013 useful during summer heat \u2013 and allowing you to take in the views. Elsewhere, the 160m high temple of Aphaia is accessible, again by motorbike, and provides views and culture.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 20px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>In the city<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth bearing in mind that the only way to access the island is via boat. Having a motorcycle naturally benefits you in that regard. Once on the island, the ancient towns benefit those who have the manoeuvrability to get around. The small towns of the island date back to the earliest history of Greece; as the Ancient History Encyclopedia notes, Aegina was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient.eu\/Aegina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">once a maritime power<\/a>. As a result, much of the old layout of the towns remain, with small, winding roads. Having a smaller vehicle will help to navigate the cities and check out some of the sights, like the temple of Aphaia and\u00a0the monastery of Agios Nektarios.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 20px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Island hopping<\/h2>\n<p>Aegina acts as a great base to experience some of the surrounding islands, which, while not having the same depth of character, make great half and full day trips. Once again, a motorbike gives you an extra level of flexibility to be able to hop onto the ferry and explore for example Agistri island. After the trip you can return to the comfort and history of historic Aegina.<\/p>\n<p>Aegina is small but mighty, a packed powerhouse of food, drink and Greek culture. The perfect way to get around is on two wheels. The speed and flexibility of a motorbike is the perfect answer.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:16.666666666667%;width:calc(16.666666666667% - ( ( 4% + 4% ) * 0.16666666666667 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exploring Aegina By Motorbike One of best parts of visiting Aegina is the compact size of the island.
