Your Driver will take you to the Temple of Aphaia in the middle of the island.

This beautiful Doric temple dedicated to the goddess Aphaia is Aegina’s top attraction and one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. Even if you’re not so interested in ancient history, the spectacular views of Aegina island and across the Saronic Gulf to the mainland make this place visit-worthy.
You will taste the best pistachios in the world. Greece is the first pistachio producer in Europe and the sixth worldwide, with the small island of Aegina alone producing more than 600 tonnes of pistachios a year. So you can’t possibly leave Aegina without tasting its delicious pistachios.
The Monastery of Agios Nektarios in Aegina is one of the largest Monasteries of Greece and one of the largest orthodox churches in the Balkans. It is an attraction for tourists arriving from different parts of the world to worship and get healed, due to its reputation for being thaumaturgic, which goes back in history.
