Aegina island - Sailing holidays in Greece
When starting your 
sailing holidays out of 
Athens, often the first island to visit will be 
Aegina island. Instead of the Marina port at the west coast of Aegina, the 
Ayia Marina bay is much more enchanting. Moreover, it is the best place to visit the 
Aphaia Temple. To avoid the big crowds you might want to sail a bit more the first day and moor off in 
Palaia Epidavros (Palea Epidauros) and visit the famous amphitheatre, or proceed to 
Methana or 
Poros. You will then be ahead of the sailing fleet that is now one day behind.
Another good trick is to sail to Nea Epidavros (Nea epidauros) first and then to Aegina island! You yourself will then be behind the fleet of 
charter yachts.
The lush, green and romantic island of Aegina, is also referred to as Egina or Aigina...
