The resort of Agia Marina in Aegina

Agia Marina is one of the most popular destinations on the island of Aegina, located in the Saronic Gulf of Greece. It’s a charming coastal village that provides visitors with a blend of beautiful beaches, historical sites, and warm Greek hospitality.

Agia Marina is a favourite summer destination for Greeks and foreigners alike. It has the island’s largest sandy beach of 500 meters, very well organized, with water sports, shallow waters suitable for young and old, while it is surrounded by large and dense pine trees.

But apart from the main beach, there are many secluded coves where you can dive off the rocks and test your spearfishing skills. There are plenty of options for food, since beach bars, taverns and ouzos extend along the entire length of the beach road and beyond.

At the end of the beach, you can visit the church of Agia Marina, which every year on July 17 celebrates with a festival. Agia Marina can be reached by local transport, but also by car heading east, 14 km from the port of Aegina, while there is also a direct route to its port from Piraeus.

The sandy beach of Agia Marina is perhaps the most famous on the island. With its clear, shallow waters, it’s an ideal spot for families with children. There are many sunbeds and umbrellas available for rent, and several beachfront cafes and tavernas where you can enjoy a meal or drink with a view of the sea.

Situated on a pine-covered hill, the Temple of Aphaia is one of the major archaeological sites of Aegina. This ancient Greek temple offers not only a glimpse into the island’s history but also provides panoramic views of the Saronic Gulf.

Agia Marina is surrounded by thick pine forests. You can hike or simply take a leisurely walk, enjoying the fresh air and the sound of the cicadas.

Although Agia Marina is not a wild party destination, there are several bars and cafes where you can enjoy a night out, listening to music, sipping cocktails, or trying out the local ouzo
