After Athens, Mitch and I took a ferry to the island of Aegina. It ended up being a vacation within the vacation, where we could relax and enjoy staying in one place for four nights. We decided to not go to a popular resort island and instead went to a place where local Athenians go on weekends. Aegina is one of the Saronic islands, near Hydra and Spetses. We had a great time!
