Aegina
Aegina island is one of the most significant producers of pistachio peanuts in Greece (called “fistiki” in Greek). During the months of August & September the island celebrates the Fistiki Festival.
Orthodox Christians come from all over to visit the church of Agios Nektarios to honour Greece’s first modern saint. His body, which is considered to have miraculous powers, is interred in the monastery (also called Agios Nektarios), which you can also visit, just next door.
Book a private day cruise from Athens to Aegina and combine it with a swim in the aquamarine waters of Moni island and lunch in Perdika village.
