Just a short distance from the city of Athens is the delightful and extremely popular island of Aegina. This relatively small island (83 sq. kilometers) is one filled with places of immense beauty and great historic and religious importance.

"Myrmidon Tours" have been organising tours and sightseeing trips around the island of Aegina for many years, and are delighted to offer their unique services to all visitors to the island.

As well as having a wonderful selection of beautiful beaches, such as Agia Marina which is probably the finest sandy beach on the island, there are many archaeological sights definately worth visiting.

Some of the most popular sights on the island include ....

The Temple of Aphaea - Dating from the start of the 5th century BC, this is one of the best preserved Doric temples in all Greece, and served as a model for the Parthenon temple in Athens.

The Colona - The ruins of ten successive communities that date from the prehistoric period.

The Monastery of Saint Nectarios - The monastery of the most recent saint of the Greek Orthodox church, and one of the largest to be found in the Balkans.
