Day Trip to Aegina Island

Today is our last full day in Greece. I decided to take my sons to Aegina, a small island just a short distance away from Piraeus, in the Saronic Gulf. We took a "regular" ferry to the island, a short 80-minute trip. While on the island, we visited the ancient Temples of Aphaia and Apollo. For the return trip, we took the Flying Dolphin back to Piraeus. The Flying Dolphin is a relatively small hydrofoil that cruises at 32 kts. It looks a lot like an airplane from the inside. The return trip took half the time, only about 40 minutes. This was the first time the kids had been on this kind of ship, so they were excited and enjoyed it.
