Gambaran keseluruhan

Aegina has a unique blend of ancient mythology, fascinating political history and island charm, just an hour from Athens. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll discover how this picturesque island was chosen as the first capital of modern Greece and why it continues to captivate visitors with its neoclassical buildings, historic landmarks, and vibrant local culture. The tour starts at the port, beside the charming white-washed Chapel of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors. You’ll explore important sites from when Aegina was Greece’s first capital in 1828, including the Governor’s House where Ioannis Kapodistrias lived, and the First Cathedral of Free Greece (also known as the Metropolis of Aegina or the Cathedral of Aegina). The tour ends at the Nautical School of Aegina, offering the best view of the town stretching across the harbour.
