14Aegina

It’s possible to visit Aegina on a day trip to Athens and there is one particular reason to do so: a temple. But not just any temple. The Temple of Aphaea is one of the very best ancient ruins in Greece. It is the best-preserved and most complete of all the ancient sites.

The island of Aegina is home to the Sanctuary of Aphaea, known as the mother goddess. There are several wonderful ancient sites to see on this Aegina including a Temple of Apollo.
