We hopped to the island of Aegina on our way back to Athens, and the crystal clear water did not disappoint. 🇬🇷
In particular, we loved taking the 10-minute ferry to Moni island for the day which is uninhabited except for wild deer, goats, and peacocks! The shallow, sandy bay with umbrellas and beach bar felt like a perfect, seaside vacation.
Additional hits were the ancient temple of Aphaia, daughter of Zeus and Karma, who was worshipped exclusively on Aegina. Also seeing pistachio groves and eating fresh pistachio gelato (this island is famous for both.)
The past two weeks of travel have wildly exceeded my (already high) expectations. I love seeing the world and learning of other cultures— and I recognize it’s a huge logistical and financial privilege to do so. I head home with a wider angle lens on life and a very full heart. 💙
