The sparkling harbour of Aegina Town is backed by a buzzing promenade of people, mo-
torbikes, cafes and restaurants. As you wander back into the narrow town streets, with
kids riding bikes and laundry strung from balconies, small-town Greek life takes over
again.
The parallel streets Irioti and Rodi backing the harbour are crammed with shops of
every kind, and a few 19th-century neoclassical buildings intermix with whitewashed
houses. Ancient Greece is represented by the impressive ruins of the Temple of Apollo,
just north of the harbour.
