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.
Arriving in the village of Aegina by boat, I wanted to go right away to the temple of Aphaia. Since the bus would not leave any time soon, and bicycles were ridiculously expensive to rent, I took a taxi. The driver took me over a winding road to the northeastern side of the island, where I saw the temple on top of a hill completely covered by pine trees. I first called at the small museum which offered some clear explanations and has reconstructions of part of the temple. I also learned that this site has had a religious function since around 1300BCE, when a female, fertile deity was worshipped. Then, I headed to the temple itself.
