The island of Aegina

The island of Aegina lives with good humor of its many attractions. The sky and the light of Attica, the sun always at the rendez-vous and the omnipresent sea, and of course the beaches, the taverns, the cafes. The port offers its beautiful neoclassical facades, its crowded terraces and its family life in which everyone calls everyone. The atmosphere is one of happy prosperity in which everyone can express the shared feeling of how good it is to live there. Aegina is a very lively center of Greek society, and since Kazantzakis wrote Zorba the Greek there, it is the favorite place of artists and intellectuals, who happily mix with the local population.
