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!
Andrea & family
The Temple of Aphaia is one of the major attractions that one can see on the island of Aegina. Built on a hill, at 160 meters, it is surrounded by pine trees and it 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.
On the southern edge of the island 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 to enjoy fresh fish next to the water.
Optional: From the Perdika fishing village you can take a small boat to the island of Moni. A very short boat ride (10 min) to Moni island for swimming (or not) in the crystal-clear waters of the beach and for 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 6 pm.

(C) Special client-specific arrangements/agreements:
It is possible that there will be client-specific payments & bookings (full or partial) agreed upon through e-mail communication mentioned -for example- as “non-refundable”. Then, these client-specific agreements will precede any other interpretations made from this cancellation policy, and it is only at Eudaimonia’s discretion to refund fully, partly, or not at all, even under certain conditions including “Force Majeure”. 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 agreed 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 in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control. Should change and/or cancellation prove necessary we will give you reasonable notice thereof, in the circumstances, & where available, offer you a comparable alternative. If an alternative is not available or acceptable you will be entitled to either a full refund or monies paid by you to us or you can transfer to another Eudaimonia tour without payment of any transfer fee.
Eudaimonia encourages all clients to communicate as early as possible concerning cancellation issues which can allow the agency to offer a better refund – partial or full- to a client despite the standard policy described in this document. This is a decision to be made entirely by Eudaimonia in an effort to better serve the client.
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.
