As part of the Saronic group of islands, alongside Poros, Agistri, and Hydra, Aegina offers an array of archaeological treasures, charming villages adorned with vibrant flowers, and pristine beaches lapped by crystal-clear waters.
At the southern tip of the Attica Peninsula lies Cape Sounio, a place steeped in history and myth. According to ancient legend, it was here that Aegeus, the noble king of Athens, tragically jumped to his death from the towering cliffs, believing his son Theseus had perished. This poignant tale lends its name to the shimmering Aegean Sea, which stretches out beyond. Cape Sounio has been celebrated since prehistoric times as a sacred site, serving as an important sanctuary during the Greek Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, where worshippers once gathered to pay homage.
