Where to eat in Aegina

01

Fistiki Aeginis

The island's pistachios, smaller and more fragrant than most, with a protected designation of origin: roasted and salted, in sweets, spreads, ice cream and even pesto.

02

Fish from the market

Sardines, red mullet, bream and whatever else the boats landed that morning, grilled simply at the ouzeris around the fish hall or the tavernas of Perdika.

03

Grilled octopus and ouzo

Octopus hung to dry in the sun, then charred over coals and dressed with oil and vinegar, the classic meze of the harbour lanes.

04

Fish soup

A slow soup of rockfish, potatoes and vegetables with a squeeze of lemon, best on the waterfront at Perdika.
