Athens – Aegina island – Moni islet

Join our Athens – Aegina Private Cruise, and discover the idyllic natural beauty of  the Saronic Gulf!

If you are staying in Athens, one of the most famous places to visit for a day cruise is Aegina island.

Arriving at the port, you will immediately see the neoclassical style of the island’s houses and you feel the sea breeze. A short stop to tour the picturesque city center of the island is a must choice! Walking through the cute paved alleys, you pass through yards that smells of jasmine. Further below monochrome doors with hanging bougainvillea compose an unparalleled summer setting. Traditional cafes are popping up everywhere and the wagons are there to remind you of the habits of another era. The Outdoor grocery stores, the fishermen who sell their catch, the locals who just stroll around, compose a truly unique setting. The trademark of the island is of course the peanuts that are produced exclusively at this place, which you should not leave unless you try them.

Nearby is the uninhabited neighboring small island of Moni. Her name is probably since it is owned by the Chrysoleontissa Monastery. However, many claims that it was named after the word “Monastery” refers to “Self-isolated”, since this islet is isolated.

As you approach Moni, in front of you is spread an earthly paradise, another reality and all you want to do is dive into the turquoise waters, enjoying the magnificent view of the pine trees. Furthermore hiking through Moni leads to unexpected encounters. In solitary places, you meet peacocks, goats, deer, shrubs, wildflowers, pines, and seabirds composing a very special landscape of unique beauty.

Nearby is the seaside settlement of Perdika that hosts a large crowd from picturesque taverns where you can enjoy traditional Greek cuisine.
