    About this experience

    Traveling to Aegina island is one the easiest and best island getaways but also a real Greek experience. A perfect PRIVATE day trip to the pristine beaches of an authentic destination without the "hordes of tourists" but with small scale beauty and simplicity. Looking for an authentic experience? The island feel, the food, the history? It is all there! Start with a hotel pick up to the port of Piraeus, then a great boat ride enjoying the views from the ferry's decks. Explore this pine green island with your private driver/guide and with full flexibility that a private tour offers. A relaxing island in the Saronic Gulf facing Athens with small fishing villages, and a "swimming pool like" water. Visit the island's famous St Nektarios monastery, explore the Perdika fishing village, and the Temple of Athena Aphaia with the amazing views. Let your guide recommend the best location for an authentic lunch right next to the water. Enjoy an undistracted sunset while cruising back to Athens.

    The best

    The absolute best tour ever. Panayoti our driver was a true gentleman and made the experience so much better

    Amazing Aegina Tour

    I thoroughly enjoyed my tour to the Aegina Island. Panayiotis is a wonderful tour guide who is very knowledgeable and kind. Aegina is a much quieter island compared to Santorini and Mykonos which is the perfect to place to relax your mind. I will definitely book with this company for future trips. You will not be disappointed.

    Response from the operator: Thank you! We are to hear that you enjoyed the tour to Aegina Island! Also, we hope you liked the ... pistachios!!!

    Aegina Island Experience with Nikkos

    Full day experience of local island 1 hr ferry ride from Athens. Much better than spending most of your time on boat island hopping. Good balance of sightseeing and time to experience local restaurants/shopping.

    Best island tour experience

    This 8 hour tour is amazing. The ruins are magnificent and the scenery spectacular. What made this tour special was our tour guide Panayiotis. His knowledge of Greek Mythology and familiarity of Greece is unmatched. I cannot say enough positive things about him and the tour company but would recommend to anyone who is looking for a wonderful 8 hour private tour of the island, experience the best pistachios and pistachio ice cream you won't find a better company

    Response from the operator: Thank you!

    Aegina Island St Nektarios & Temple of Athina Aphaia Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.

    How much does Aegina Island St Nektarios & Temple of Athina Aphaia Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Aegina Island St Nektarios & Temple of Athina Aphaia Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.

    Is Aegina Island St Nektarios & Temple of Athina Aphaia Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Aegina Island St Nektarios & Temple of Athina Aphaia Private Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Aegina Island St Nektarios & Temple of Athina Aphaia Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Aegina Island St Nektarios & Temple of Athina Aphaia Private Tour?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Aegina Island St Nektarios & Temple of Athina Aphaia Private Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Athens?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Athens?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Athens?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
