It is one of the very few sandy beaches of Aegina situated in front of the seaside tourist resort of the same name, east of the island’s capital. The water is clear and transparent. Water sports and sailing facilities are available. However it is not highly recommended for boaters unless they want to swim in a typical (usually crowded in the high season) tourist resort.
The road from the town of Aegina, goes though forests with pine trees and it meets the temple of Aphaia, which is a Dorian type temple built in soobe.
It also goes to the Monastery of Saint Nektarios and to the old medieval town with it's old churches and finally it ends up at Agia(Santa) Marina.
