Situated on top one of the hills of the island, the temple of Aphaia is not just a well preserved piece of antiquity, but also a great viewpoint over the Saronic Gulf.
Aphaia was a goddess only known to Aegina, and her origins lie in Crete, where she was known as Britomartis. She escaped her admirer Minos and emerged from the sea on Aegina, according to myth. The temple that still stands today, is actually the third version, and was built around 500BCE. The previous one had been burned, but some remains can still be seen. Most of the temple is built using local limestone, but some parts, notably the sculptures of the pediment, are made of Parian marble. They depict the battle of Troy, and Athena has a central role in them. That is why originally the temple was thought to be in her honour.
