Moni Beach

During our visit to Moni, a charming little island off the coast of Aegina, we encountered a haven of lush vegetation, pristine beaches, and a surprising array of wildlife. Moni is unique because it has no permanent inhabitants; instead, it’s home to a variety of animals, including deer, small horses, wild goats, peacocks, pheasants, and squirrels. These creatures often come close to visitors, making it a delightful experience to interact with them and even feed them.

One of the most striking features of Moni is its spotless beaches, which offer different experiences depending on which side of the island you visit. On one side, the waters are deep, making it ideal for underwater fishing and snorkeling. This area attracts divers and those interested in exploring the rich marine life. On the other side, you’ll find an organized sandy beach with clear blue, light-colored waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing.

The organized beach at Moni has all the amenities you need for a comfortable day by the sea. A beach bar offers a variety of refreshments, from snacks and ice cream to ouzo, tsipouro, wine, and beer. It’s an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery while savoring a cool drink or a light meal.

The island’s lush vegetation provides a picturesque backdrop, with plenty of shaded areas where you can escape the sun. The tranquility of Moni, combined with its natural beauty, makes it an excellent choice for a day trip or a leisurely escape from the busier parts of Aegina.

Overall, our visit to Moni was a delightful experience. The combination of pristine beaches, lush vegetation, and friendly wildlife creates a unique and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re interested in exploring the underwater world, relaxing on a sandy beach, or interacting with the island’s diverse animals, Moni has something for everyone. If you’re visiting Aegina, be sure to take a trip to Moni for a peaceful and enjoyable day in a beautiful natural setting.
