The temple is quite well preserved. You have to pay an entrance fee of 6 euros per person. It is fenced and maintained. It was located on a higher hill overlooking the sea. The scenery is amazing. The temple is in the style of the Panthenon in Athens.

Stunning views and temple, really well conserved and easy to reach by motorbike or car (there is no option to reach it without them). The price is 6€/person, one of the best places to visit in Argina

Very calm compared with the Athens monuments.. and not much crowded either. Rent a scooter or car, cross through the island and enjoy it.. Overall a nice experience!

Must visit. Not very crowded, it’s a very well preserved temple, one of the most important ones in this part of Greece too. They had both the Parthenon and Sounion in sight so those three temples used to communicate with each other visually, even though they are dozens of km from each other! Also - visit the cafe for a coffee - they serve a surprisingly good one and the view is stunning!

Beautiful temple, well preserved. Easy access, €6 adult ticket, child one - no charge. Close by is a nice coffee shop with a small terrace and gift shop.

One of the most impressive temples still standing in Greece. The view makes it spectacular

Took the bus tour. It's a long way from the port to the temple. The tour guide did a nice job explaining other places along the way to the temple. The temple is a short walk from the temple parking lot. Once again, the tour guide did a good job explaining the history of the site.

This monument is well preserved and maintained. It’s hard to believe that this temple was from 500 BC. Most of its pillars, structures, inner and outer features are still standing. There’s a shop and cafe close to archeological site you can buy drinks, light finger foods and souvenirs there. The shopping mini complex also has a restroom open to everyone. Parking here is by the side of the road so it is limited.

This temple is pretty well preserved on the Greek island of Aegina. Or at least as much as anything can be at 2000+ years old. The temple is at the top of a mountain, surrounded by a fence and normally cost 6 eu to enter, but ous was already covered. Anyway you can see some real dedication with people quarrying these enormous stones and then of course dragging them up to the top of the highest mountain around. Anyway it's a beautiful site.

Not just another Greek historical site, because even if these places may look alike,each is unique in it's own way and has it's own history worth discovered.

An impressive structure with an outstanding views. it was a nice fast visit with the kids, even that it was a very hot day the area had nice breeze and we enjoyed visiting the temple. The coffee next to it is a must visit.

Beautiful and very quiet place with breathtaking view on Saronic Gulf, Salamis Island, Piraeus and even Athens. Temple is not so big, but you can see it's built over an earlier temple 2500 years ago. Magic place.

6€ entrance fee. Lovely and a must see when visiting the island.

This place is like a miniature Acropolis. You pay 3 euros for a ticket here, and in the off-season you can basically wander around on your own. A beautiful view complemented by a piece of history. Below is a parking lot with a small shop and a restaurant with a beautiful view.

Beautiful temple ruins with an incredible view of Aegina. We went in late September, and it was not crowded at all; we were able to easily buy tickets at the entrance. There is also a nice little museum by the temple, and there are cute cats all around :)

What an energy this place has! Beautiful ancient temple, worshiping goddess Aphaia. The view from the temple is so clear and the ruins are well preserved. A must visit if you go to Aegina island.

Nice Ancient Greek temple, you can get there easily (bus, bike, quad) and the prices are low ! The view is simply amazing and the temple well preserved 📟

6 euros to enter a site that felt a bit abandoned. No disability access. There are quite a few steps to climb up and it felt like they should do a better job with the entrance.

Another beautiful piece of Greek history but not as busy as Athens but very beautiful. Probably the visit will take around one hour but do not forget to visit the museum and also the shop to buy local very tasty pistachios and pistachios 🍦

Beautiful temple. The views of the sea were great. The temple itself was impressive.

Nice Ancient Greek temple. The view is also amazing. A very nice place for sure.

PERFECT!!! ITS A MUST SEE! 😜 LIKE A SMALL ACROPOLIS BUT WITH BETTER VIEW! THE RESULTS OF SMALL MUSEUM WHERE YOU CAN SEE EXCELLENT ANTIQUITIES!

Amazing well preserved temple. The last entrance is until 18:15 and the ticket is 3 euros. The view is just stunning and is definitely a must see if you are in the island.

Such a lovely experience with my family. Lots of great information and very informative 👍🏻 not very expensive and really beautiful! The views are amazing.

Very beautiful temple ruins / archaeological site, and the hilltop view of the sea makes the visit pretty satisfying. You can see Agia Marina from this height, since the temple is high up on a slope. Pretty accessible by bus (though it can be quite infrequent). Alternatively, there is taxi or car rental which can make this place much more easy to reach.

Move over, Temple of Aphaia, this church is beautiful! If you're fortunate enough to have found yourself on Aegina, a visit to this neo-byzantine church is a must. Unfortunately for me, the center of the church was completely covered in scaffolding but, the outside was sublime. Tip: sneak up the back of the church at sunset for incredible photos!

Monumento recomendable junto al Templo de Alfaya. Es de envidiar si magnificencia, con esa estética tan propia de los templos ortodoxos. Recomendable por la vista del iconostasio. Lástima que estuviera en obras y no estuviera visible el Pantocrátor. Visitar la tumba de San Nectarius. (Translated by Google) Recommended monument next to the Temple of Alfaya. Its magnificence is to be envied, with that aesthetic so typical of Orthodox temples. Recommended for the view of the iconostasis. It's a shame that it was under construction and the Pantocrator was not visible. Visit the tomb of Saint Nectarius.

Amazing experience. Easy access by bus from Aegina. Make it in the morning for the Sunday service. Open again.

Can't describe how lovely and also how holy this place is, you need to see for yourself you'll be amazed the church, the monastery, the way things are presented , the helper's and the amount of people visiting every day

Very nice looking church from the outside located on the bottom of the monastery. There is a dress code in order to enter (pants for men and dress for women)

You can quickly reach the Monastery by bus. Wonderful peace, the smell of flowers and trees. The architectural work of art is the church itself. It is pleasant and inspiring to walk to the Monastery with a beautiful view of the surroundings. There is also a museum dedicated to the work of Saint Nektarios. The spiritual rapture that overwhelms you in this holy place does not need to be highlighted. Across the street from the building is a small restaurant where you can have a drink or something to eat. Warm recommendations for this trip or pilgrimage.

What a beautiful Church! This was the highlight of my tour in Aegina. Top class architecture and vibe, especially if you visit the monastery above the Church. NB inside there are some restoration works going on. Must see if you're visiting Aegina.

Wow, very nice place with beautiful architecture. Nothing to pay for entrance, have toilets, water to drink.

Absolutely wonderful from every point of view. The place is gorgeous, situated in the middle of the island of Aegina, very quiet, peaceful and welcoming. The nuns and the helping people from there are extremely kind and they will help you with everything. The main big church has the entire holy body of Saint Nektarios and the upper little church has the head of Saint Nektarios. It is a great Saint who helps everyone and I can relate. I hope I will be back soon, it’s definitely worth every minute.❤️

Beautiful and huge church. The monastery is further up the hill. You can either walk up the stairs or use your car to go around the hill. The nuns were very friendly as were the ladies helping at the store. One of the best pilgrimages I ever had. Place your ear against the marble on the Saint's final resting place to see if you can hear anything.

A very beautiful and impressive church to say the least. There were couple of homeless people on the way to monastery and it always saddens me to see how the 'church' caters to the rich visitors and does not provide much to the poor.

Pretty interesting church - the architecture and the colour scheme makes it stand out from its surroundings. It has quite a well decorated interior and is very well maintained. There were some scaffolding in the church when we went, but it doesn’t really make much difference to our visit. This place is accessible by the A1 bus that runs from the port of Aegina (though the frequency may be very limited - so plan your time properly if you intend to catch it!). A place that is worth visiting if you are already planning to visit the island, but otherwise wouldn’t really recommend coming to Aegina just for this attraction.

This place has a great ambiance, very beautiful and interesting artifacts. I visited last year with my cousin and although it's outside of the city, it's really worth the trip. We got to see objects used by the moncs and the saint's tomb.

It’s an amazing church in Aegina island. Must to see if you are on this island. This church is the second largest church in Greece 💙

Beautiful church and monastery with great views, especially from the monastery! Lots of history within it’s grounds. No tickets required for entry, usually not that busy so it’s really nice.

Edificio imponente cuanto menos. En la zona alta están las capillas de rezos. Si eres mujer y llevas pantalón tienes que ponerte una especie de tela a modo de falda que te dan en la entrada. Es obligatoria. Los hombres tal cual entran. (Translated by Google) Impressive building to say the least. In the upper area are the prayer chapels. If you are a woman and you are wearing pants you have to put on a kind of fabric like a skirt that they give you at the entrance. It is mandatory. The men as they enter.

Pretty , serene and empty. A good relaxing moment

Strange vibes. Met no one there. Nicely renovated. On the way back, saw a priest driving his white papal mobil decorated with crosses. Must be good living in these times, not carrying water by foot.

Felt a bit pricey compared to other places, but expected on an island where there are no other options! Music was not too loud for us, despite what other reviews say. Food options were limited when we visited as they weren’t fully staffed (likely as May is not quite peak season) so we could not order from most of the menu, club sandwiches and fries were the only option - not suitable for two pescatarians, so we went with just fries, which were good, but wasn’t quite what we needed for lunch. I’d recommend bringing your own snacks, particularly if you have dietary requirements. Cocktails tasty and generous with alcohol.

Beautiful setting, crystal clear water, and good drink options from the bar. Only downside is that the music was very loud, which made enjoying the ample wildlife a bit difficult. Definitely walk a bit to find another beach if you want solitude. And beware of the sea urchins and jellyfish. These purple jellies showed up quickly as the tide changed.

A great beach bar in an unbeatable location. You’ll be right on the beach and the docile local animals like peacocks and deer may come right up to you. They also had very helpful service, helping me pick up my watch which I had accidentally left there the day before.

Incredible movie-like views. Lots of animals that come close to you. Great water, wonderful beech. You may not possibly hope to see everything on this island in one day. I will need to come again to go up into mountains and see animals and views from there.

(EDIT) I kinda forgot to review the bar, got lost in the beauty of this island. The bar is great! Good service and an abundance of refreshment, food, alcoholic cocktails and non alcoholic bevs. Prices are only a little higher than in Aegina. Nothing prohibitive. Beautiful beach surrounded by nature and serviced by the only bar present. Music is loud around the premises of the bar, but if you take one of the umbrellas at the border it is totally fine for a good conversation or to read a good book. The waters are crystal clear and filled with wildlife. It's great for snorkelers. Easy to reach, both from Perdika and from Aegina port, this little jewel is definitely worth visiting more than once.

Beautiful beach but my god expensive, 20 euros a cocktail and blasting out music like it's ibiza or marbs. If you ignore the above the beach is breathtaking and the animals are just insanely tame

Seemed nice enough. We got a drink. They don't charge for the chairs, nor offer service to them. The waitress seems to only serve the area by the bar. That's ok though. After all, free chairs. The drink was good. All in all, a very nice time. The peacocks wandering around were particularly delightful.

We are coming here the 3rd year in a row to Moni and this year has been shocking as the beaches around Moni Beach Bar is filled with trash. I watched them clean up after everyone was gone and one guy used a freaking leaf blower to blow the trash from the bar into the open land (you can see it in the video where he blew it and a peacock walked just past it). I collected two big trash bags of plastic cups, straws, bottle cups, cigarette butts, receipts… The island doesn’t have any inhabitants besides beautiful peacocks and deers. It’s heart breaking to see what’s happening to the island. I beg everyone that comes to the island to be more mindful and conscious about this beautiful place and the animals that live here. We only have one planet. Thank you

Beautiful but sunbeds and drinks are expensive. Staying on Aegina and there were nicer places without needing to travel but glad we went

Rocky beach with mountain and boat view. Parking is available on the side of the road for free. It is crowded. I would recommend another beach 🏖

It looks nice to take photo, but not for swimming. It looks dirty. You have better options on the island for sure.

If you want a beach where you can find many seashells and stuff, this is the best one yet! Clean waters usually and not any tourists.

Nice beach. Sandy enough to go swimming at night too. Very pretty. Couple beach bars with chairs.

beautiful beach. bit far from the port , you need transportation to get here but it's very nkce beach . you can sit on the beach freely, but there are also sunbeds a small caffe to enjoy your coffee or food. Okay prices.

Very comfortable beach given the cafes give you a sunbed if you order from them. Perfect for families.

nice view

Amazing beach lovely views!!! Any time again !!!

Great pistachios sweet, not too sweety. Just perfect. One brother makes sweets and another one photograph it. Other family makes kind and sweet staff.

Aegina is the land of pistachios, and if you visit the island, you most definitely must stop by here! This shop sells a wide variety of pistachios and pistachios based products. The staff were very friendly and let us try a lot of different items. They took time to explain the differences between similar looking products, and explained the ingredients present in each items as well. Prices are very affordable too, and most definitely is not a tourist trap! Highly recommend this shop!

We, three French girls traveling in Greece for the first time, loved everything about Μούρτζης! The whole store is so pretty and colorful, there are so many cute sweets and everything looks so yummy! I brought many gifts to try with my family and now I tasted all of them, I can tell: each of my picks was indeed delicious and high-quality! I especially recommend the pistachio bread, the biscuits with pistachio and orange zest, the pistachio pesto, the handmade sweets like the Christmas ones (the κουραμπιέδες and the μελομακάρονα) and, obviously, the plain pistachios! (To be honest, take as much as you can with you!) Many, many thanks to the incredible sale assistant who welcomed and assisted us. Nena, meeting you was one of the highlights of our Greek trip. Your kindness and your warmth touched us greatly (and your French is so good! Viens nous voir à Montpellier !). Thanks to the owner of the shop as well; it was so thoughtful of you to make us taste such many of your sweets an to help us take good pictures of your wonderful place. We wish we could come back every week!

Nice local store, very warm atmosphere from the family owners. They make whatever you can imagine with pistachio and they also sell wines, spices, teas,herbs and nuts. A heaven of taste on the island. Worth a visit.

Delicious family run pistachio shop in the center of town. Great variety and fun to look around and try the different products. Yummy pastries too! You have to eat pistachios when in Aegina, they are truly some of the most unique and best tasting ever. The prices are fair and were typically better than those open air stands on the main street by the port.

Local nuts shop,, Variety of different nuts (pistachio, almond and many other nuts) also different selection of products that are produced from nuts such as almond oil, caramelized nuts and many different pestos. Also there are selections of oil & seasoning.

Very friendly family fun business. They know English very well. They let you try everything before purchasing. Bought every kind of pistachio as well as pistachio paste with chocolate. Desserts with pistachios are also delicious 😋

We back to Aegina, after visiting it in July and both times we made several stops at the Mourtzis Pistachio store. Besides the excellent pistachio quality, the store is so friendly. We were happy to see Mr Panagiotis again, always so kind and smiling, and meeting his son, Nikos. We can't wait to be back already. Best wishes from Bianca and James

This is the pistachio store to go to in Egina. The ones on the sidewalk by the port are nice, but this place does pistachios perfectly. The owner is knowledgeable and has a passion for food. The items that we purchased were excellent. Try the smoked pistachios. They are incredible!!

Very helpful staff. Everything I tried was really tasty. Prices on par with the rest of the vendors around town. Pistachios at 18 euros per kilo (April '24).

The people there are really nice and friendly, always eager to give you samples of their products. Everything we tried was delicious and we ended up leaving with many goodies. Their salesman is really good at his job and their products are selling themselves, congrats!

Here I had some of the best pistachios (and pistachio-based products) ever. The sweet and salty florentine is amazing, together with the energy bars and the spread. Also, the shop is family owned, kind amd warm people ready to help.

Agree with everyone else! Beautiful shop. Huge selection. The staff was friendly and let us try a lot of samples to see what we wanted to get. We got a LOT of great items and it was all under 40 euro. Do not miss this shop!!

Good pistachio and snack options, just no tour actually even though it was advertised online

TLDR: great experience with lots of gifts to bring home My favorite was the pistachio pesto and the pistachio chocolate, both very tasty. The main person helping speaks many languages and she was very helpful to tell us about the different products. They also seemed to be cheaper than other places as we walked around the shops

Great selection of local pistachio products of very high quality, the staff was very nice, offering us samples of a wide variety of products which were delicious. Highly recommend this shop for buying any pistachio products to try as well as to bring back home.

This family-run business, with a 70-year (not sure if I remember it right based on my conversation, but, its definitely more than half a century) history of pistachio farming, operates an outlet that offers a wide range of genuine products, far from being a tourist trap. You’ll find an extensive selection of nougats, spiced nuts, baklavas, lentils, and dry fruits, all of remarkable quality. It’s a must-visit for anyone in Aegina looking for authentic local flavors, complemented by the warm and welcoming owners.

This is a wonderful little store for a food lover. Delicious local pistachios grown on a family farm with knowledgeable staff. I seriously had to restain my purchases as the suitcase was almost full from purchases in other countries. One of the brothers, the non-baking one, was a great help. I purchased pistachios, of course, some greek cookies that my son devoured as well as the owner's favorite bottle of red after talking about the wines a bit. I also got the best pistachio baklava i have ever eaten. And he was right-I have never had baklava with that many pistachios in it and not overly sweet. This was certainly one of the highlights of our day trip to Aegina and I am so glad we found it! I only wish they delivered to the US.

A place that every visitor must visit in Aegina ! Mr Panagiotis stoped us, as we were passing by, in order to treat his excellent products. Everything we tasted were A++++++++. Unfortunatelly, we could not buy everything. Till next time... Highly recommended!! El Profesor (as promised..)
