Aegina was the first island we went to in 2005. We also returned here in 2018 and 2021 so it is sort of a nostalgic event.
We chose to settle in at the Ela Mesa in Souvala. It's a small port city and we have commented on how the atmosphere is so different. Whereas Santorini and Naxos cater to the international crowd, Aegina is more local and I might say an older crowd; even quite a few Germans. In other words, we didn't hear much English spoken.
It's been a quiet 5 days, just walking around the city and sitting by the pool. We are still recovering from our bug/cold so the quiet, restful atmosphere is welcoming.
Today we rented a car and drove around the island visiting places that we have been before. As I have mentioned before, the longer you stay at one place, the more it seems like home.
Tomorrow we get on a ferry back to Athens to stay with Fotis and Mary for a few days before be meet Brad and Mel at the airport. Since we will be seeing some of the same places with them, I'm not sure how much more blogging I will do, but will try to keep up.
Here are a few pictures from our time in Aegina.
