House rental on Aegina Island, Greece - Stunning views, 1 hour from Piraeus, 5 min. walk from the beach. - Property 55385

Local information: There is a supermarket in Perdika, about 2km away, with good fresh fruits and vegetables. Also in Perdika, in the bakery opposite the supermarket, you will find one of the best 'chocolate croissants' ever tasted before! The first taverna down from the house, called 'Nikkos', is also one of the bests around. To eat out, we also recommend 'Number 13' in Perdika, 'Tassos' in Marathonas as well as the fish market in Aegina town. There is a beach just down from the house as well as a pontoon, perfect for 'early morning swimmers'! 'Michael's beach' is ideal for young (and less young) children! The sand, the shallow waters and the relaxed atmosphere makes it a lovely place to spend a late afternoon. A regular bus service runs from Aegina to Perdika (and back). 'Aeginitissa', where the house is situated, is on its route.

Entertainment and activities.: A lot of 'day trips' can be done from the island. 'Moni island', a natural reserve with wild animals, a lovely beach and a bar, is only 10 min. away from Perdika's port (boats depart every hour). 'Angisrti' island is accessible by ferry from Aegina port. We recommend to put your car on the ferry and tour around Angistri island, its beaches, coves, and rocks to swim or dive from. 'Athens' is also near by, as the port of Piraeus is only 40min by fast boat from Aegina. We recommend to visit Athens in the low or mid season as the summer heat can be quite strong in the city. The ancient amphitheatre of 'Epidavros' is also accessible by boat (to Methana) and then by bus, taxi, or car to Epidavros. There is a festival of performances in the summer and shows with transport are organised by the local tourism office. Of course, the bustling town of Aegina has a wide range of bars, restaurants, clubs and shops and 'open air' cinemas. There is even a small water park for children.
