Wonderful video! We did a day trip to Aegina last summer in July. We want to return for a longer visit. We spent the day at Marathon Beach and had lunch at a cute little place called La Palma. Brought back some great memories. Thank you! :)

I’m glad other people smell it too. I always think I am imagining it.

I’ve just booked my ferry tickets for an Aegina day trip. I’ll be there at end of April for my first visit to Greece. Will also be visiting Athens, Delphi, Santorini and Thessaloniki. Would love to see more but that will have be saved for another visit. Thanks for your videos. They have been very helpful.

Wonderful! You are hitting some great spots too. Greece will be here waiting for the next time too. Thank you!

I've been to Aegina a few times. April last year was my most recent It's a great stop off for a couple of nights on my way to Poros, another beautiful small island, a skip, and a hip from the mainland. Aegina is a well worth visit. ❤❤❤

That sounds like a lovely trip!

Beautiful weather, interesting old buildings and harbor, keep it up! A suggestion: mix in some still photos of the buildings, cat, and harbor into the vlog. Just to make them more memorable.

I love that island. If you ever want to spend the night, there are many cheap airbnbs in Aegina limani and nearby there are many great seafood restaurants. You can also stay at other spots on the island. The Templ and monastery and amazing!

I have spent a whole weekend there. But not in the main town.

Ah yes the smell I know what you mean. As soon as you walk out of the airport terminal it hits you- not an unpleasant smell- it is just your welcome to Greece

Near aegina are Islands like hydra and spetses that are also beautiful and thriving . If you visit aegina i recommend visiting them too. They also played a big role in the greek independence. The locals were very experienced sea men and led the greek fleet . If you are interested in history you can Google names like Miaoulis and the greek heroine Bouboulina

I am enjoying your videos. I too noticed that maple syrup smelled very first time. I went to Greece and it has such a nostalgic effect on me now. I feel like I’m home when I smell it. My research tells me that it comes from a while Herb called Pennell Greek. I live here in Northeastern Canada on the island of Newfoundland. I am able to grow it in summer, and when the sun shines, the smell is released and I feel like I’m transported back back to Greece.

Oh thank you, you filmed the hotel we'll be staying at 😍❤️. We're heading back to the same hotel again. 30 years since our honeymoon there. I'll have to introduce myself to the great great great etc grandchildren of the cats I made friends with in 1994 😂 My husband will (still) be pulling this face 🙄 😁 X

How was that walk from the old town to the Temple of Apollo? I mapped it on Google maps and it looked like portions didn’t have a sidewalk…..

It is fine. Yes, there isn't a sidewalk the whole way but its not an issue if you don't have mobility issues.

There is some Mythology about the ants in Aegina. Maybe Apollo turned the ants into soldiers to fight Achilles? Or for Achilles? I don’t remember, but I did notice the ants are huge there!

@agirlandherpassport

I looked it up and saw different variations but the ants were created to repopulate the island. Eventually they go to assist Achilles fighting in Troy.

🙏 However, I still prefer ATHENS 😊
