Aegina is an easy island to the Athens mainland to go. A sandy beach is what tourists dream of. Before the 2020 pandemic, I went to the Agia Marina beach of Aegina with a middle-class Greek tourist Kapogiannis excursion from Tripoli, Arcadia. We traveled through a forest with pine trees. We passed by the temple of Aphaia. A Doric temple located on the pine tree Mesagro Hill has excellent views of the Saronic Gulf and northeastern island.
The sandy Agia Marina beach is shallow. Everyone should have water sneakers for Greek beaches. We walked out into the sea near the sailboats. Being in the calming sea was relaxing. A great view that remains as a vivid memory. The excursion members were friendly and helpful along with leader Kostoula of Kapogiannis Travel. Greece and the Sea is an American remembrance.
