With this ticket, you can smoothly navigate between Athens and Aegina aboard a catamaran ferry that covers the distance in approximately 40 minutes, allowing you to take in the stunning vistas of the Saronic Gulf.
Ferry Service Between Athens & Aegina
This ticket grants you direct access to the catamaran, eliminating the need to wait in line at the port's ticket counters.
During your reservation, you will select between two journey options: a one-way trip from Athens or a return trip from Aegina, along with your desired departure time. If your journey begins in Athens, you will set sail from the Piraeus port and arrive at the Aegina port. Conversely, those choosing a return trip will depart from Aegina and conclude their journey in Piraeus.
The travel duration on the catamaran ferry from Athens to Aegina is roughly 40 minutes.
Discovering Aegina
Once in Aegina, just a short walk from the harbor, you can visit the charming chapel of St. Nicholas, noted for its quaint size and its distinctive white and blue construction. Strolling through the delightful pathways of the village, you will encounter Markellos Tower, which functioned as a government building during 1826 and 1827.
Your exploration of Aegina should also include the temple of Afaya, dating back to between 500 and 490 BC, as well as the ruins of the temple of Apollo. The latter is situated on "Kolona" hill, named for its column-like structure. Historians suggest it originally featured 11 columns on its sides and 6 at either end. From this elevated position, visitors can relish stunning views over the Aegean Sea.
Activities in Athens
For those visiting Athens, a trip to the iconic Acropolis, emblematic of Classical Greece, is essential. As you navigate this renowned site, you will encounter the majestic Parthenon, the Erechtheion alongside its caryatids, and the historic Theatre of Dionysus, which dates back to the 5th century BC.
Additionally, take time to explore Plaka, often referred to as the "neighborhood of the gods". Its narrow cobbled streets, vibrant homes, and traditional taverns create a nostalgic atmosphere. Interestingly, remnants of ancient Athens lie beneath the very streets of this enchanting district.
