About Aegina
Aegina has been an island of exceeding importance over ancient and modern times. It was the first capital of the contemporary Greek State. The city of Aegina (where the central port is located) is situated on the west side of the island. It is picturesque and humming with life all year round.
The church of Saint Nicolas, small and picturesque, welcomes the visitor as he enters the port. The Archaeological Site of Kolona (Column) together with the Archaeological Museum as well as the Museum of Folklore and History of the Municipality of Aegina will give the visitor an insight into the island’s history, life, and art during the ancient and contemporary periods.
The best way to get to know the town is by wandering around the beach and through the narrow streets and alleys where one finds monuments of the era of Kapodistrias (Greece’s first governor), neoclassic buildings, beautiful old houses as well as many interesting shops, cafés, taverns, and bars for relaxation and entertainment.
At a close distance you will find a supermarket and a couple of tavernas. Souvala can be reached by foot within 25 minutes or 3 car minutes. The bus that stops almost in front of Irides, will take you to the village of Vagia, or Souvala and Aegina town.

The bus stops several times on the way, the Piraeus harbor is about the last stop. The price of the ticket is 5 EUR (at night the price can be slightly more) and is valid for 24 hours. You may use this ticket on the bus, trolley bus, or the metro. The trip will take from 60 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes depending on the traffic!
At the airport, you can buy the ticket at the small ticket office located next to the bus stop. In Piraeus, you buy the ticket also at the ticket office next to the bus stop. After you have bought the ticket you have to put it in the ticket machines on the bus to print a date on it.
