Spending a Few Days on Aegina

[xmelissaa]

I am helping a friend plan her trip to Aegina. I have been, but I forget the details and wonder if any of you can help.

There are some religious sites to see, such as the relics of Saint Nektarios, and I need help figuring out where on the island to go. Which Ferry port is best? What's the name of the church or monastery? Can I do this as a day trip from Athens?

Thanks in advance!

I did this ages ago and if memory serves me right, we took the "Dolphin" and we went to clubs and bars like "On The Rocks" which idk if they're still there but there was a great bakery that made bougatses which I ate on the beach for breakfast the morning after I arrived.

I was only here for a day but there are some delightful restaurants and bars in the main area by the port - some great shops, too. There's a gorgeous beach, Saint Nektarios's relics at a large church and also a monastery, and a beautiful, ancient temple. All are worth seeing. You can do it in a day, but that would love for no down time. I would totally stay at least 2 nights here so you can really enjoy it.
