Marathonas Beach is one of the most convenient and family‑friendly beaches on Aegina Island, located just 5 km from Aegina Town along the southwest coast. With its shallow, calm waters and soft sand, it’s ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or enjoying a leisurely seaside lunch.

The beach is lined with cafés and tavernas, offering sunbeds and umbrellas for rent, making it easy to spend a few hours here between sightseeing stops. Its relaxed vibe and easy accessibility by bus, taxi, or bike make it a favorite for day‑trippers looking to cool off without venturing too far from the port.

👉 Combine a swim at Marathonas with lunch at a beachfront taverna. Many offer fresh seafood and shade just steps from the water.
