And peacocks, and deer and clear water and so much to exploring around island and sooo amazing pine smell !! Moni is must-see island. We went there end of September, there was one boat sailing on request and very little people on the beach. Can't imagine how crowded could be if not Covid and out of season!

We knew we wanted to horseback ride on Aegina when we got there, but weren't quite sure how to set it up. Our airbnb host recommended we go to the port to speak to Stellios. He doesn't speak much English, so a horse and buggy driver helped translate with us, and Stellios told us to come back the next day at an earlier time. The next day we did so, and he drove with us to a small crop of land where he keeps his two horses. There, he made it super easy to get right on the horses and go for a ride through the suburban streets of Aegina, stopping at a lighthouse to take pictures for us too. He was a great guide, and we really enjoyed the experience! Since it was off-season I don't think he had as much business, which is why it was so easy for us to set up an impromptu ride, so if you're visiting in the summer, I'd try to get in contact with him a bit ahead of time. When we visited he only had two horses grazing, so it'd be a good idea to check about larger groups if you plan on riding with more than two people. We also heard that in summer it's possible to ride the horses along the beach, which sounds like a great experience as well. All in all, 20 euros per rider for an hour was a great price, and a great overall experience!

Clear water, sunbeds, trendy beach bar, easy parking... This has been definitely my favourite beach on Aegina Island! If you arrive early in the morning you are alone and it's wonderful!
