Aegina Town and harbour
Aegina · Greece
Hla's photo shows rows of boats beneath evening clouds. The scene belongs to Aegina's harbour town, a useful place to understand the island before going to beaches or more distant sites.
Family tip If arriving by ferry with children, give everyone time for a snack and to get to know the harbour before another journey. Avoid tying your first island hour to a distant plan that is hard to change.

Start the island where you arrive
The Greek National Tourism Organisation describes Aegina as a historic harbour town and mentions its markets and different areas. Hla's photo suggests a simple start: walk a little along the waterfront, then decide which side of the island fits your time.
The harbour is more than a transfer point
It is easy to rush from the ferry straight to another site. But the town itself offers a short stroll, boat views and central shops; give it time before hiring transport or booking a distant activity.
Choose one extension
The tourism organisation mentions historic sites, beaches and villages around the island. For a family day trip, one extension after the town may be better than combining every place in a busy route.
