The amount of time you need in Aegina depends on your preferences and what you want to experience on the island. Here are a few considerations:
Day Trip: If you're short on time, a day trip from Athens or nearby areas can be a great option. With a full day, you can visit some of the island's highlights, such as the Temple of Aphaea, the Monastery of Saint Nektarios, Perdika Village, and the Islet of Moni.
Overnight Stay: If you have more time to spare, consider staying overnight or for a weekend. This will allow you to explore the island at a more leisurely pace, enjoy the beaches, visit additional attractions, and experience the local culture and cuisine more fully.
Extended Stay: For a more immersive experience, especially if you're interested in relaxation and exploration beyond the tourist spots, consider staying for several days or even a week. This will give you ample time to discover hidden gems, engage in outdoor activities, and truly soak up the island vibe.
