Aegina covers an area of 85 square kilometers, a population 11,270 and lies at distance of 17 nautical miles from Piraeus. The present day harbor is the ancient city's commercial harbor. Today it is a busy, noisy meeting place of picturesque fishermen selling the day's catch and grocers, from whom you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Next to the harbor is the ancient town's military harbor, which some people have identified it with the naval port.
Worth visiting, in the area of the port, is the chapel of Agios Nikolaos Thalassinos. Towards the inner land, there lies a town with some old neo-classical mansions, which have been restored and are now rented to visitors.
