Aegina island located only 17,5 nautical miles from Piraeus is the ideal place for  weekend or a daily cruise but and a favourite summer resort. Just 6.5 km. from Aegina port, opposite the monastery of Agios Nektarios, there is a low hill covered with the ruins of the abandoned city of Palaiohora. This was the capital of the island from the 9th to early 19th century. Crowning the summit are the remnants of the medieval castle where the population sought refuge during pirate raids. In its heyday, Palaiohora could survive, many with memorable wall paintings.
Another interesting landmark is the monastery of the Virgin Chryssoleontissa on the road to Marathon. Dating from 1600, this monastery is built in a style reminiscent of the fortified monasteries of Mount Athos.The church possesses a splendid carved iconostasis. Apart from antiquities, the island has much to offer in the way of sandy beaches for sun worshippers and swimming enthusiasts, along with delightful fishing villages, and a richly varied landscape.
South of the capital is the seaside village of Marathon, followed by the fishing port of Perdika (9 km.). From Perdika small boats ferry visitors to the picturesque islets of Angistri and Moni, ideal spots for enjoying nature, solitude and relaxing pursuits. The most popular resorts on the Aegina island are Agia Marina, Souvala, and Perdika
