The closest Saronic island to Piraeus at 87.41 km², about 40 minutes by hydrofoil or an hour by conventional ferry. The Temple of Aphaia, built around 490 BC, is one of the oldest surviving Greek temples. Pistachios, introduced in 1896, cover a large share of the island's farmland and hold PDO status since 1996; Aegina town is the port and capital, with Perdika and Vathy as smaller settlements.
