What it is
Perdika is the fishing village at the far south of Aegina, about 9 km from the main harbour: a small harbour with boats, a row of fish tavernas on the shore and white houses. Opposite, a few minutes by boat, is Moni, an uninhabited pine-covered islet with a very clear-water cove, to which boats leave from Perdika quay in season.
How to organise it
Get to Perdika by taxi, car or motorbike from Aegina harbour, take the boat to Moni in the morning, swim, come back to eat fish at the harbour and stay for sunset, which here falls over the sea. Ask at the quay for boat times and the day's price: they change with the season and the weather.
Tips
- Bring water and food to Moni On the islet there are few facilities outside high season.
- Come back before the last boat Ask the time when you board.
