Agia Marina beach

Located in front of the picturesque coastal village of Agia Marina on Aegina, the island's largest sandy beach stretches for approximately 500 meters. This stunning beach is known for its shallow, crystal-clear waters, making it ideal for swimming and relaxation. Agia Marina Beach is well-organized, offering plenty of amenities including umbrellas, sunbeds, and water sports centers, ensuring a comfortable experience for all visitors.

During the summer months, the beach tends to attract large crowds, and it can get quite busy. To secure a spot on the sand or to find available sunbeds, we recommend arriving early. If you're looking for a quieter spot, head north of the main beach to discover a rocky coastline perfect for swimming and underwater fishing.

Where to Stay and Things to Do

Agia Marina offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit all budgets. The village also features a variety of charming seaside tavernas, coffee shops, lively bars, and shops selling local handicrafts. During the summer months, its narrow streets become bustling with visitors, making it a popular destination for both Greek and international travelers.

The highlight of Agia Marina is its iconic Church of Agia Marina, situated right next to the beach. The church celebrates its feast day on July 17th, a day marked by a large celebration in the village.

How to Get There

Agia Marina is well-connected to the island’s capital, Aegina Town, just 12.6 kilometers (about 22 minutes) away, with frequent bus and taxi services. The village also has direct ferry connections to the port of Piraeus, making it easily accessible from Athens.

Explore the Surrounding Area

While visiting Agia Marina, be sure to explore the surrounding villages located on the island's central mountainous region. You can also visit the Temple of Aphaia, an ancient landmark offering breathtaking views, and the Monastery of Agios Nectarios, one of the most important religious sites in Greece.

Combine your day at the beach with a visit to these fascinating cultural sites, and you’ll have an unforgettable and enriching experience in Aegina.
