Another popular destination among Athenians, Aegina, is one of the Saronic Islands of Greece in the Saronic Gulf. The island got its name from Aegina, the mother of the hero Aeacus, who was born on the island and became its king.

Mycenae is a place worth visiting, not only for those who love archeology, but also for those who wish to walk the streets of one of the major centers of ancient Greek civilization.
