Aegina: Guided Tour from Athens + Optional Ferry Ticket

About this experience

The Aegina guided tour departs from Athens and takes visitors to one of the closest islands in the Saronic Gulf, roughly 40 minutes by ferry from Piraeus. Aegina is known for its pistachio groves, the well-preserved Temple of Aphaia dating to around 500 BC, and the hilltop ruins of Palaiochora, the island's medieval capital. The tour is available with or without a ferry ticket, making it suitable for those who already hold a crossing. On the island, the guided itinerary covers the waterfront harbour with its traditional fishing boats, the Archaeological Museum of Aegina, and the main produce market where local pistachios are sold. The Day Trips from Athens programme lists departure times, group sizes, and what is included in each ticket tier, covering guide fees, optional ferry passage, and any entrance charges to named sites.
