Best Places to Eat in Aegina, Greece

The island is busier than Mykonos or Santorini but remains tolerable. It’s still easy to escape the crowds even during high season and enjoy everything from beautiful beaches to a wonderful church. If you are a fan of goat’s milk, don’t miss out on visiting the dairy in picturesque Sfentouri or try their delicious risogalo (rice pudding sprinkled with cinnamon). They also make fantastic products from sheep and cow’s milk.

Karnagio Beach

Aegina Island is among the best cruise islands near Athens to relax on a sandy beach and enjoy some of Greece's finest seafood at tavernas. You can also sample a variety of cocktails at the island's quality beach bars. If you want a modern gourmet experience, Kappos Etsi is one of the top restaurants in Aegina. Located behind the port in a stone building with a wine-coloured courtyard, chef Dimitris spins Greek classics into out of this world dishes like baked octopus and his signature kappos etsi pie stacked with feta, mince and parsley. For authentic meze, try Nontas tavern in Perdika or Kriton Gefseis for musical meze and raki. Or enjoy a cocktail at Inn on the Beach, a perky seafront favourite close to Aegina Town, and feel the gentle spray of the setting sun ruffle your bare ankles. Afterwards, take in the spectacular Temple of Apollo, a knockout from 480 BC and part of the Sacred Triangle with the Parthenon in Athens.

Souvala Beach

There’s no shortage of beach-themed activities on Aegina, with the most frantic waterside action taking place on the east coast at the island’s major package holiday resort, Agia Marina. Here, you can take a banana ride or enjoy barbecued octopus in a waterfront taverna. If you prefer to keep your feet dry, head a little farther south for Vagia’s exquisite sandy beach and secluded coves. Or, for a more laidback day, head to Marathon Beach, just a 10-minute drive from town, for umbrellas and sunbeds on an organized beach — though it doesn’t typically get very busy. The island’s pristine Moni Beach is a short boat trip from Perdika, an idyllic village that captured the imagination of Kazantzakis. Arrive at sunset to watch the magical light bathe the harbor and the small church tucked away in its recesses. And don’t leave without sampling a plate of local cheese and pistachios. The latter are a speciality here (try the fresh, unsalted variety with whole pistachios)..

Agios Nektorios Church

Saint Nectarios of Aegina is one of the most famous Greek saints and has been known for working many miracles. He is a great spiritual counselor and confessor to many Greeks and many people from other countries have found healing through his prayers. As a Metropolitan, Nectarios was loved and admired by the people for his purity of life, humility and service to others. His devotion to God and the church compelled him to become more active with his work. Unfortunately, this caused envy among other priests and they made false accusations that led to him being removed from his position. This is when he started searching for a place to live in peace and quiet with no distractions. He ended up on the island of Aegina where he built a beautiful monastery and church. He is celebrated as a saint in the Orthodox Church and his feast day is November 9. Many of the pilgrims that visit Aegina around this time are here to celebrate.

Monastery of Agia Triada

Worlds away from the hedonistic whirl of Athens, Aegina retains its old school charm in its covered fish market and backstreet ouzeri (bars). Stop by Eakion to sample the local speciality – smoked pistachios – ahead of the island’s annual festival in September. For a more upscale snack or drink, head to Posto, where you’ll be treated to generous servings of handmade pasta and Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant is set in a hidden garden and also hosts art exhibitions from time to time. In general, be respectful of the monks’ customs and etiquette when visiting any monastery. Greeting them and engaging in brief pleasant conversation is fine, but avoid distractions or disturbing them in their religious practices. And do not enter restricted areas like the monks’ quarters. Observing these simple rules will enhance your experience while showing respect to the monks and their church. Aegina Island is a beautiful cruise destination and these top places to eat and drink will make your stay here unforgettable. Read the full article

Aegina, the island near Athens ideal also during winter

is a beautiful Saronic Greek island, ideal for a weekend or a day trip away from Athens. Fresh air, crystal clear sea waters, lovely beaches and a beautiful promenade at the seafront at the port are the essentials things to forget everything and travel in a charming atmosphere. Located only 45 minutes by ferry and 1,5 hour by boat from Athens, Aegina is a heaven on earth, an authentic island that is typically an Athens island, a part of a large city, which however can offer to its visitors everything that an island of the Aegean Sea has to offer. Next time you come to Athens, don't miss this great excursion that makes you feel like having traveled in an exotic place.

The Saronic Islands are the next best thing in Greek tourism because they can easily be combined with a city break in Athens. Explore the closest of them and get ready for an amazing experience even during winter. Because Aegina has numerous things to do and significant historical sites, it is a top destination in Greece for vacation in the fall.

What to do

The port and capital of Aegina is a gorgeous coastal town with neoclassical houses, traditional taverns by the sea and vivid nightlife. Don't miss out in the beautiful, well-preserved neoclassical Aegina Town the walk from the port until the open-air cinema of Akrogiali. After 8 o'clock p.m. in the summer, the main road turns into a pedestrian, and you can walk undistracted before watching a movie by the sea and under the stars. The best time to enjoy

Aegina Town is on evenings, when the sunset colours the harbour with pink and orange hues, and the small white church at the edge of the jetty is in perfect contrast to the whole picture like a painting. Have a stroll in front of the town, by the sea, and then, you can drink coffee or a cocktail in one of the numerous cafés and bars or eat in a traditional seafood tavern, overlooking the Saronic Gulf.

Another interesting spot on the island is the town of Agia Marina, on the southern-eastern side of the island. In a close distance to the temple of Aphaea, Agia Marina is a touristic resort, where you can spend an ideal day with your family in the long sandy beach with the shallow waters, and then eat in the nice fishing village there. In addition to the main beach, there are also many beach bars in the small coves around the village.

The cosy fishing village of Perdika, on the southern side of the island, with Greek taverns by the sea with fresh fish, caiques and the hospitable locals is the best option to forget being so close to Athens.  Moreover, from there, you can make a day excursion to the green islet of Moni just across Perdika and swim in emerald waters in a scenery away from the crowds.

The lighthouse, on the road to Souvala, the second port of Aegina on the northern side of the island, is the best spot to watch the sunset. Sitting at the edge of the peninsula in the district of Plakakia, near the white chapel is a magnificent way to explore the hidden beauty of Saronic Gulf.

Don't miss out, if you visit Aegina in September, the Fistiki (=pistachio) Fest, a major festive event, which wants to promote the cultivation of this unique product on Aegina. The pistachio of Aegina entered the list of products with Protected Designation of Origin thanks to its fame with the name of the island and its unique flavour that is different from other places. The Fistiki Fest is the largest commercial and economic event in the area with more than 20,000 visitors. The visitors will find there sweet and salty gastronomic delicacies from pistachio as well as creations of pottery, jewellery, craft and arts in green and fuchsia colours, the colours of the pistachio.

Historical sites

Ancient Temple of AphaeaThe ancient temple of Aphaea is built in a stunning location on the top of a hill, inside a forest of pine trees, has a magnificent view of the Aegean Sea. The well-preserved temple of Aphaea is located within a sanctuary complex dedicated to the goddess Aphaea. This great Doric temple was built in the 6th century B.C. over the remains of an earlier temple. It is one of the best-preserved temples in Greece, and you will be impressed by the beauty of the landscape and the history of the place. The temple of Aphaea is located in the same distance from Acropolis and the temple of Poseidon in Sounio, creating thus an equilateral triangle. Aegina played an important role as a city-state during ancient times, and thus this temple is one of the most glorious testaments of this flourishing past.

The Monastery of Saint NektariosThe monastery, where Saint Nektarios lived and died in the 20th century, is the place, which makes Aegina one of the most significant religious destinations not only in Greece but also in whole Orthodox Europe. Saint Nektarios is the patron saint of Aegina and was a priest, who was sanctified only 50 years ago, is one of the few Greek saints of the modern times.

Paliachora and the Byzantine churches near the monastery of Saint Nektarios, there is a wide area on the mountain, which is called Paliachora and has numerous small, stone-built Byzantine churches from the 12th century. If the weather is not hot, you can hike on the mountain and explore the hidden churches everywhere.

The ancient olive groves. The ancient olive grove near the fishing village of Perdika has olive trees that are more than 400 years old. If you visit it, you will be impressed by the size of the trees that reflects their age. In addition to Paliachora, this is a very interesting stroll you can make during autumn, winter and spring when the temperature is mild.

Kolona and the Archaeological MuseumNear Aegina Town, there are the ruins of the Neolithic settlement of the island (2,500-2,000 B.C.) as well as of the ancient temple of Apollo (6th century B.C.). The ancient site is very interesting, but worth visiting is also the location with a small beach full of pine trees under the hill with the column of the temple imposing the whole scenery.

Beaches

Aegina, as a Saronic island, has small beaches full of tamarisk and pine trees with crystal clear waters, ideal for families thanks to their shallow waters as well as for youngsters thanks to their vivid beach bars.The beach of Aeginitissa is the must place in Aegina to have fun, meet new people, drink cocktails by the sea and spend moments on the beach until late. Near the beach, the tavern of Aeginitissa literally by the sea has delicious mezedes and very hospitable people. Organised beaches nearby are also the beaches of Marathon with beautiful beach bars. A few kilometers from Aeginitissa, are located the best beaches of Aegina. They are situated on the southern side of the island. Near the lovely fishing village Perdika, you can find 3 beaches (Klima, Sarpas and Kleidi) with soft white sand and emerald waters that will remind you of the Cyclades.

The beach of Agia Marina is, as abovementioned, a golden organised beach with umbrellas and sunbeds, perfect for families, while the distance from Aegina Town to Souvala on the northern side is full of small coves with unorganised beaches with crystal waters. There, in the area of Plakakia, there is also an organised beach near the house of Kazantzakis, which is ideal to relax and enjoy the view of Peloponnese in front of you.

Off-the-beaten-path

Visitors should keep an eye out for the houses of legendary artistic figures, such as Nikos Kazantzakis, Yiannis Moralis, Nikos Nikolaou and Christos Kapralos on Kazantzakis Avenue in the area of Plakakia, the most artistic and elegant district just 3 km away from Aegina port. Aegina's Folklore Museum is definitely worth the visit as well for its collection as for the neoclassical building built in 1928 that hosts it. Don't forget to visit the Christos Kapralos Museum, which extends over six rooms at the prominent sculptor's former studio in the Plakakia Area. It hosts a considerable part of his body of work. The iconic Tower of Markelos, which was erected in 1802 and used during the rule of Ioannis Kapodistrias to house the public treasury and military headquarters, is a jewel of the old city.

Pachia Rachi is a settlement at the foot of Mount Ellanion, which is Aegina's highest mountain, that features cobblestone pathways and a magnificent sea view. Watching the sunset from there is just breathtaking. Mount Ellanion is also interesting for its ancient trails, such as the trail from Sfentouri to Eleonas, the walking route from Marathonas Beach to Pachia Rachi or the trail from there to the Monastery of Panagia Chrysoleontissa. If you love hiking, try also the eastern part of the island by heading north from the village of Anitseo or take the route that begins at Mesagros and ends at the temple of Aphaea.

Kula

O Kula é uma extensa forma de comercio de caráter intertribal praticada por comunidades localizadas em um largo anel de ilhas, formando um circuito fechado. Ao longo dessa rota, duas espécies de artigos - e apenas essas - viajam constantemente em direções opostas. Uma delas - os longos colares de conchas vermelhas denominados soulava - segue no sentido dos ponteiros do relógio. A outra - os braceletes de conchas brancas denominados mwali - segue no sentido oposto. Todos os movimentos dos artigos do Kula, todos os detalhes de cada transação são fixados e regulamentados por um conjunto de regras e convenções tradicionais, sendo que alguns atos são acompanhados de elaborados rituais e cerimônias públicas.

O aspecto fundamental do Kula é essa troca cerimonial dos dois artigos. Mas encontramos uma enorme quantidade de traços e atividades secundárias que lhe são associadas e realizadas à sua sombra. Assim, lado a lado com a troca cerimonial de braceletes e colares de concha, os nativos desenvolvem também, entre uma ilha e outra, intensas formas de interação e de trocas de grande variedade de bens considerados indispensáveis mas impossíveis de serem obtidos no distrito para o qual são importados.

Muitas atividades preliminares estão intimamente ligadas ao Kula, particularmente a construção de canoas, a preparação do equipamento, a estocagem de provisões para a expedição, o estabelecimento de datas e a organização social do empreendimento.

Portanto, o Kula é uma instituição extremamente grande e complexa, tanto na sua extensão geográfica quando na multiplicidade de propósitos envolvidos. Ele vincula um numero considerável de tribos e abrange um vasto complexo de atividades interligadas e desenvolvidas uma dentro da outra, de modo a formar um todo orgânico.

Aqui apresentamos apenas uma dimensão muito geral do Kula se olharmos na intensa descrição etnográfica que Malinowski elabora em 'Os Argonautas do Pacifico Ocidental', entretanto já nos possibilita um entendimento da raiz histórica do termo Kula e assim situá-lo no contexto adotado.

O kula é uma forma de troca de caráter intertribal praticadas por comunidades localizadas num extenso conjunto de ilhas do norte ao leste e extremo oriental da Nova Guiné descrito pelo antropólogo Bronislaw Malinowski. Reunindo milhares de pessoas de dezoito comunidades Massim, um arquipélago onde se inclui as ilhas trobiand.  

    Segundo Malinowski - que documentou entre 1914 e 1918, essa prática de navegação e encontro ritual por um circuito pré-determinado por tradição - os participantes do Kula viajavam centenas de quilômetros de canoa transportando os vaigua'a (objetos de valors). Os colares de conchas vermelhas chamados soulava vinham no sentido horário desse círculo e na direção oposta (anti-horário) eram transportados os braceletes feitos de conchas brancas chamados mwali encontrando-se em dado momento para realizar o ritual da troca.            

 Aquele que recebia um colar soulava, estava obrigado a corresponder com um bracelete mwalli e vice-versa. As condições para a participação no circuito de troca variavam de região para região. Os principais objetos de transações do Kula – os braceletes de conchas (mawli) feitos com a parte superior e extremidade delgada da concha de um grande caramujo e os colares (souvala) feitos do nácar da ostra espinhosa vermelha segundo Malinowski são muito cobiçados por todos os papua – melanésios, ambos usados como enfeites com os trajes de dança mais elaborados nas grandes ocasiões festivas, nas danças cerimoniais e nas grandes reuniões que participam os nativos de várias aldeias.      

    Malinowski foi um dos primeiros antropólogos a propor uma interpretação teórica seguida ao trabalho de campo. Para esse autor acima do valor estético e advindo do trabalho empregado na confecção dos objetos dessa troca ritual está a oportunidade, que esta proporciona, de se estabelecer relações sociais e ganhar prestígio social. Os costumes e tradições que acompanham esta troca de presentes é cuidadosamente pré-escrito no sistema cultural das pessoas nele envolvidas, especialmente no que diz respeito as relações doador–receptor/receptor-doador. A aliança de doações implica relações de correspondência, hospitalidade, proteção e assistência mútua. Os líderes mais importantes do Kula podem ter centenas de parceiros em troca, enquanto os homens com menor status na sociedade têm geralmente uma dúzia deles, dependendo do tamanho de suas redes sociais.

Bronislaw Malinowski nasceu em 1884 na Cracóvia (Polônia). Inicialmente, se formou em Ciências Exatas, mas abandonou e, parado, dedicou a ler The Golden Bough (tr. O Ramo Dourado) de James Frazer[1]. Tal leitura iria direcionar sua pesquisa de campo por toda vida, assim mostra o conteúdo de suas obras: expressões da espiritualidade humana; compreensão do funcionamento da mente primitiva; reflexões sobre a vida e a morte, a humanidade e a animalidade, divindade e imortalidade; a magia como forma de controlar a natureza e garantir a sobrevivência humana; a influencia do sexo sobre a vegetação; o Tabu e os perigos da alma (precauções que protegem o indivíduo e a sociedade); a coerência lógica entre os “selvagens”; os sistemas de regras que se combinam formando um todo bastante completo e harmonioso e etc. Todos os relatos trazidos por Malinowski sobre os nativos em suas obras deixam nítidos as influencias que herdou do pensamento de James Frazer.
