AEGINA May 31
Upon returning to Athens we took a ferry to the picturesque island of Aegina, which has been inhabited since the 4th millennium B.C. and was one of the major trading centers at the time of the Peloponnesian War. Aegina Town was the first capital of modern Greece. We also visited the Temple of Aphaia, one of the best-preserved temples in Greece. After taking the ferry back to Athens we concluded our ten day "Odyssey" with a group dinner in the city that night.
