About Souvala
Souvala is a quiet village and small port on the north coast, about 10 km from Aegina Town, where some ferries from Piraeus call in summer. Its harbour is lined with fish tavernas and cafés, and the white houses climb gently up the slope behind. In the twentieth century it was known for its warm mineral springs, which drew visitors for cures, and today it is a calm, local place to stay, close to the beach of Vagia and a short drive from the Temple of Aphaia and Agios Nektarios.

Good to know
Before you go to Souvala
Getting there
By the island bus or a taxi from Aegina Town, about 15 minutes, or directly on one of the ferries from Piraeus that call here. Check the timetable for your day.
When to go
May to October. The north coast catches the summer meltemi, which keeps it cooler but can make the sea choppy.
