Beautiful Aegina, just an hour away from the Port of Piraeus, is great for a quick weekend getaway. The island is known for its beautiful sandy beaches with crystal clear waters, antiquity, churches, pistachio nuts… and more recently its politics, being the island where Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras got to know each other resulting in the choice of Varoufakis as Greek FinMin.
