Highlights

Not only will you meet Aegina's cat population and get to know how wonderful the Aegean cat breed is, you’ll also gain in-depth knowledge of their home. Best of all is that, by joining this tour, you'll be helping Aegina's cats, because all proceeds will go towards feeding, neutering and offering them vet care. So, book now if you’d like to : know who built Aegina's elegant Neo Classical buildings, explore Aegina's quaint buildings and narrow streets, find out all about the quirky pink tower of Markello (a favourite spot of local cats), see the historically important house of modern Greece's first governor, Jannis Kapodistrias, and be surprised when you learn about where the newly formed government of modern day Greece wrote the first constitution. After tasting some of Aegina’s best pistachios, we’ll pass through the (much loved by cats)busy fish market to reach our final stop - Aegina’s well built, beautiful old orphanage ,which has a completely different function now.

About Saronic Gulf Islands

The Saronic Gulf Islands are a group of Greek islands near Athens, among them Aegina, Hydra, Poros and Spetses, linked by short ferry rides.

The Saronic Gulf Islands lie in the sea between Athens and the Peloponnese, close enough to be reached from Piraeus by ferry or hydrofoil. Aegina, the nearest large island, has the Temple of Aphaia, a Doric temple set among pines, and a harbour town of fishing boats and pistachio sellers. Hydra, where cars are not used, is a rocky island of stone mansions built by sea captains, with donkeys and water taxis doing the carrying.
