Agena greece11/23/2023 ![]() ![]() There’s also a terrific taverna on the opposite side of the island (boats to Moni also leave from Aegina Town-it’s a 20-minute ride.) You’ll find a green paradise of sandy coves, hiking trails and loads of great picnic spots. Haven’t hit optimum chill yet? Take a 10-minute water taxi ride from Perdika to the tranquil islet of Moni (uninhabited barring a few sociable peacocks, wild goats and deer). But for most, it’s dive, dry off… repeat. Tanned young locals sip caipirinhas and eat nectarines out of paper bags, while older chill seekers snooze on bright lilos within easy reach of the ladder. ![]() The mood is cool but democratic with an all-day playlist to match. It sits on a slender rock jetty equipped with a couple of ladders and a diving plank, a hotly-contested cluster of straw umbrellas and loungers, some deck chairs and tables for playing backgammon or snacking. Sotos is one of those great little bars you come across only a few times in life. Intrinsic to the Apollo Hotel scene is swimming over to Sotos Beach Bar next door. The seafront restaurant serves some of the best traditional Greek cuisine on the island, especially the stuffed tomatoes, seafood risotto, and shrimp saganaki. But priceless? The views, the location, the swimming (there’s also a saltwater pool at lobby level for those who tire of climbing down the steps to the sea)-and the faded retro glamour of the place that’s just on the cusp of being hip again. The rooms are adequate, the plumbing unreliable, and you’d be well advised to bring your own pillow. High on a rocky perch, Hotel Apollo is an Aegina classic.
