AEGINA
In 1966 I went on a Pilgrimage, arranged by an organization connected to the church. The boat left Corinth, passed through the canal then reached Aegina we returned in the evening again passing through the canal.
We visited the church of Saint Nektarios then went to the beach at Aghia Marina and in the early evening went to the temple of Aphaia.

Another visit was with a group of fellow members of THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN SOCIETY in 2001 when we visited gardens and the temple.

The last time I was there was with a group of my husband’s old school friends and involved a visit to the bird sanctuary, a visit to a potter, a visit to the new church of Saint Nektarios and of course the temple.

A trip to Munich has long been on my TO DO list to see the sculptures from the temple of Aphaia in the museum there
