It is a fact that everyone has missed a day trip due to travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. But if you are now making a list of the destinations you would like to visit, do not forget to include Aegina. Just an hour and a half from the port of Piraeus and less if you prefer the dolphin. Aegina is full of images that will be unforgettable. And that is why it is considered the ideal day trip from Athens.
If we exclude some short breaks that gave us a breath to continue the long way to the end of the coronavirus pandemic, we have been on an abnormal trajectory for a year now. In quarantine! Restrictions on movement, closed shops, bans on gatherings, closed cafes, bars and restaurants, sports venues, restrictions on our travels were psychologically tiring. Let's see what we have missed the most after all this time.
Searching for the history and historical elements of a place, it is customary to go even further to discover the myths associated with it. Aegina was very popular in Mythology. Its myths became known from the hymns of Pindar and the epics of Homer. Besides, it has been inhabited since 404 BC, so it is a place with, if nothing else, a rich history.
