Aegina was a maritime power in the Archaic period; the Temple of Aphaia (built c.500 BC) reflects the island’s wealth and sculptural school that influenced later classical architecture.
Conservation
Marine life and coastal habitats are sensitive—avoid littering and use marked paths; support local producers who follow sustainable pistachio farming practices.

Mind the cobbles
