Description

Leave the bustle of Athens behind and set sail across the Saronic Gulf to the charming island of Aegina — a destination rich with history, beauty, and island soul. More than just a ferry transfer, this short sea journey is your invitation to slow down, breathe in the Aegean air, and discover a new pace of life only an hour away from the city. Begin your journey at the bustling Piraeus Port, Athens' main gateway to the Greek islands. Whether you're staying in the heart of the city or nearby coastal suburbs, the port is easily accessible by metro, taxi, or bus. From here, board a San Lorenzo ferry and glide across the calm blue waters on your way to Aegina. As the city fades from view, the landscape opens into endless sea and distant hills. Once you arrive, step into a world where time slows down. Aegina is a charming island with rich history, tranquil beaches, pistachio groves, and cozy tavernas serving the freshest seafood. Highlights include the Temple of Aphaia, a well-preserved ancient site with sweeping sea views, and Agia Marina & Marathonas Beaches, ideal for a refreshing swim or sunbathing. Don’t leave without trying the island’s famed pistachios in every form imaginable. Rent a bike or scooter and explore the charming harbor town, colorful alleys, and scenic coastlines at your own pace. When it’s time to return to Athens, your ferry awaits at Aegina Port, ready to carry you smoothly back across the sea. Boarding is quick and easy, giving you more time to reflect on your island escape. Whether you return the same evening or the next day, you’ll enjoy the same scenic ride, this time with the island behind you and the Acropolis once again on the horizon. San Lorenzo Ferries ensures your journey is as enjoyable as the destination itself, whether you’re traveling solo or with company. On board, you’ll find comfortable indoor seating, air-conditioned lounges, an open-air deck for panoramic sea views, snack bars and refreshments available and clean restrooms. Travelers can choose between one-way tickets for flexible travel plans or same-day round-trip tickets for a full day of adventure on the island.
