This
is not the only beach though.
There is another beach on the
north of the wharf which is rocky
and suitable for swimming
and underwater fishing.
In Santa Marina, you can find
many hotels or rooms that you
can rent, pictursque taverns
by the beach, bars, shops
with folk art and discos. |
At the beach, there is the
church of Santa Marina,
which celebrates its name
day on the 17th of July.
There is frequent transportation
from the port in Piraeus
to Agia(Santa) Marina.
From Agia(Santa)Marina,
we can travel to mountaneous
villages in Aegina. |
There
is evidence that the area, particularly the headland, was
inhabited since the 4th century B.C.
In 1829, an archaeologist
found this area to be cultivated yet uninhabited. Only two
houses and traces of ancient structures existed here.
Until
the middle of the last century there were some orchards,
two or three houses and few shops on the beach. |
