Temple of Aphaia

You'll find one of Greece's best-preserved Doric temples perched on a pine-covered hilltop, dedicated to the local goddess Aphaia who was unique to Aegina. The 2,500-year-old temple lets you walk right up to the ancient columns and examine the stonework up close, while the small on-site museum displays original sculptures and artifacts found during excavations. The elevated location offers stunning panoramic views across the Saronic Gulf, making this both an archaeological treasure and a scenic highlight of the island.
