Travel by metro to the port of Piraeus, then take a scenic ferry to Aegina (approx. 1 hour). Upon arrival, visit a local pistachio farm to learn about the island’s famous pistachios and sample fresh nuts and local sweets. Next, head to a family-run dairy farm for a tour, cheese tasting with tsipouro, and a hands-on lesson making traditional rizogalo (Greek rice pudding).
Depending on the weather, enjoy a swim and lunch before checking into your hotel. In the late afternoon, take an orientation walk around Aegina town. The evening is free for your own exploration.
