Aegina is a lovely place, with a relaxed and unpretentious main town. For lovers of ruins, its main attractions are the complex and well-presented Bronze Age-to-Byzantine city at Kolonna, the finely-preserved Classical Temple of Aphaia, and a veritable treasury of Byzantine churches at Palaiochóra. For the gastronome it offers delicious pistachio nuts, which thrive in the island’s mild climate and clay soil.
