Nowadays, life moves at such a fast pace that it seems to overtake us before we can really enjoy it. Life does not have to be this way. When the whole world is trying to slow down – we Aeginians already have it. We love our island, we respect family values and we like to chill.
Our lifestyle is fairly relaxed and informal – our island’s unofficial motto “siga-siga”, means “slowly-slowly and translates to “do not stress, take things step by step”, this way you’re more likely to succeed. Folk wisdom advise us “Whoever is in a hurry stumbles” (Όποιος βιάζεται σκονταύτει), a proverb Greeks commonly use.
When you visit one of the quaint village of Vagia you will get the chance to immerse yourself in a now forgotten relaxed way of life and bring yourself closer to nature.
