€570

The Athenians’ all-year-round go-to destination!

It is a perfect PRIVATE day trip to the pristine beaches of an authentic destination without the “hordes of tourists” but with small-scale beauty and simplicity. Looking for an authentic experience?

We start with a hotel pick-up and then to the port of Piraeus for a great boat ride enjoying the views from the ferry’s decks or the air-conditioned sitting areas for 1 h and 10 minutes. Just enough time to breathe the sea air but not too much to make you feel tired or bored! The tour is operated with our private cars for your transfer from Athens to the port and then for exploring the island, but we use the commercial ferry boat to travel to the island. We do not provide a private yacht!

Aegina Island is a pine green island that you’ll explore privately with your tour leader and full flexibility. A beautiful, relaxing island in the Saronic Gulf facing Athens with small fishing villages, and a “swimming pool-like” water.

We’ll visit the island’s famous Saint Nectarios monastery, explore the Perdika fishing village, and enjoy the Temple of Athena Aphaia with its amazing views.

Finally, your tour leader will recommend the best location for an authentic lunch right next to the water before returning to the return boat trip.

You can also consider the addon/option of swimming by extending the day or adjusting the itinerary.

Depending on the time of the year, you could enjoy an undistracted sunset while cruising back to Athens.

Overall, this one-day private tour to Aegina Island is an excellent way to experience a real Greek Island without the typical touristy feeling!

Duration: 8 – 9 hours (depending on the boat timetable and time of the year)

We Greeks, all know Aegina, the beautiful island of the Saronic Gulf. Some of us because of the famous pistachio, but most of us because it is always there. It’s there in the winter, it’s there during summer, it’s there when you have nowhere else to go; It is always there for you…

Meet your private driver/tour leader for your 8:00 – 8:30 a.m. departure to the port of Athens, Piraeus. We board the ferry for a 1h10 min ride with great views of little islands and the Athens Riviera.

Aegina is a lovely island at a close distance from Athens. This is why it gets very popular as a weekend destination for the Athenians. The most important sight in Aegina Greece is the Ancient Temple of Athena Aphaia, constructed in the 6th century BC.

The Aegina port, where the ferry arrives, is the central meeting point for the locals, with several coffee shops, restaurants, and beautiful pedestrian narrow streets. While exploring, you will, of course, encounter the famous Aegina pistachios. The island is covered by pistachio trees!

Aphaia aegina island

Andrea & family

The Temple of Aphaia is one of the major attractions on the island of Aegina. Built on a hill at 160 meters, it is surrounded by pine trees and stands out for its unique energy. Since prehistoric times (1300 B.C.), it has been a unique place of worship!

One of the most visited sites on Aegina is the church and monastery of Agios Nektarios. Agios Nektarios was known as a great miracle worker, particularly as a healer of every sort of disease, he was also a prolific writer, theologist, philosopher, moralist, educator, poet, ascetic, and mystic.

Aegina island

On the island’s southern edge lies the small fishing village of Perdika. This is perhaps one of the most picturesque spots on the island and still has the characteristics of the Aegean style of square houses and narrow streets. Many tavernas enjoy fresh fish next to the water.

Optional: From the Perdika fishing village, you can take a small boat to the island of Moni. It is a very short boat ride (10 min) to Moni Island, where you can swim (or not) in the crystal-clear waters of the beach and have drinks.

We return to Athens by ferry to enjoy the sunset, depending on the time of year and the boat’s timetable. Normally, we should be back at your hotel around 5-6 pm.

‘Eudaimonia’ is the trading name of Eudaimonia Private Tours of Greece, a tour provider officially registered under the Greek National Tourism Organization with business license number 1245E70000044101. The ‘client’ or ‘customer’ is the person or persons who have made a confirmed booking with Eudaimonia.

CANCELLATION POLICY FOR TOURS, TRANSFERS AND SERVICES

(a) Cancellation Policy for day tours, half-day tours, and transfers:

☼ Cancellations made greater than 60 days before the scheduled tour date will be fully refunded minus service fees, as mentioned below.

☼ Cancellations made between 60 to 30 days before the scheduled tour date will be refunded 75% of the agreed total tour fee minus service fees.

☼ Cancellations made between 30 to 7 days before the scheduled tour date will be refunded 50% of the agreed total tour fee minus service fees.

☼ Cancellations made 7 days or less before the scheduled tour date will incur a 100% charge.

EXPENSES: In addition to the above, but only after the 60-day full refund period, all of Eudaimonia’s expenses agreed upon through the email exchange of communication concerning or are part of the day or half-day tours or transfers, such as site tickets, train/boat tickets, or any other bookings for the client (wine tasting, restaurants, etc.), will be deducted from the amount to be refunded.

SERVICE FEE: Finally, a service fee of 9% (of the total amount agreed) will also be deducted from any refundable amount, including the 60-day full refund case. This corresponds to the time spent on the client’s booking.

(b) Cancellation Policy for multi-day tours (at least one night stay/overnight or more):

☼ Cancellations made greater than 90 days before the scheduled tour date will be fully refunded minus expenses and services fees, as mentioned below.

☼ Cancellations made between 90 to 60 days before the scheduled tour date will be refunded 75% of the agreed total tour fee minus expenses and services fees.

☼ Cancellations made 30 days before the scheduled tour date will incur a 100% charge.

EXPENSES: Additionally to the above, but only after the 90-day full refund period, all of Eudaimonia’s expenses agreed upon through the email exchange of communication concerning or are part of any multiday tour, such as site tickets, train/boat tickets, hotels booked for the client, or any other bookings (wine tasting, restaurants, etc), will be deducted from any amount to be refunded. This will be an amount of approximately 25%-30% of the total tour cost.

SERVICE FEE: Finally, a service fee of 18% of the total amount agreed will also be deducted from any refundable amount including the 90-day full refund case. This corresponds to the time spent on the client’s booking.

(c) Special client-specific arrangements/agreements & cancellation policy:

There may be client-specific payments & bookings (full or partial) agreed upon through e-mail communication mentioned -for example- as “non-refundable” or different from the main cancellation policy “refund dates”. Then, these client-specific agreements will precede any other interpretations made from this main cancellation policy. Therefore, it is the specific written (email) agreement between each client and Eudaimonia that can only precede this main cancellation policy -if it is different- and determines the cancellation policy for each client.

(d) Other issues:

Eudaimonia reserves the right to make subtle changes to tour itineraries. Eudaimonia reserves the right to substitute vehicles and/or drivers should they arise. Eudaimonia reserves the right to change or cancel your booking without any penalties beyond offering a full refund. Should change and/or cancellation prove necessary we will give you -if possible- reasonable notice & where available, offer you a comparable alternative. If an alternative is not available or acceptable you will be entitled to a full refund.

Eudaimonia encourages all clients to communicate as early as possible concerning cancellation issues which could allow the agency to offer a better refund – partial or full- to a client despite the standard cancellation policy described in this document. This is a decision not to be discussed with or disputed by the client and will be made entirely by Eudaimonia to better serve the client if it is possible.

Eudaimonia itineraries are flexible, and if possible, the requirements of clients will be facilitated.  Eudaimonia reserves the right to vary, modify, or cancel any itinerary, either partly or wholly.  Itineraries published are sample itineraries only and may be amended without notice. Eudaimonia also reserves the right to use alternative vehicles to those advertised.

Eudaimonia is not responsible for the costs of any other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations or rescheduling of any tour departure.

Bookings can only be used by the client/s to whom the booking was initially arranged; no other person can use the booking in any circumstances.

The client will be asked to produce a valid photo and/or passport number identification.

(e) Force Majeure

It is only at Eudaimonia’s discretion to refund fully, partly, or not at all if a customer cancels under certain conditions including even “Force Majeure”. Eudaimonia strongly recommends that the client purchase travel insurance.

The Client agrees to all the above when booking any of Eudaimonia’s tours and services.
