Hints from Harry

the frst silver coin in Europe was minted in AeginaIf pressed for time, by all means make Aegina your top choice in the Saronic Gulf. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about were the beaches which are mostly small and rocky. The water itself was perfect, clean and calm. This is a place to use those wave walkers I told you to bring along in the practical tips section.

My advice is to rent an off-road vehicle because there are many interesting dirt roads to travel on, you'll be able to get away from the more crowded beaches and find interesting places to hike.
