According to the legend, Aeacus pleaded with Zeus to send rain and stop the drought. Zeus did that and Aeacus, to show his gratitude, built a temple in its honor. From the building that stands on the highest mountain of Aegina survive only some ruins, while there is also the small church of the Ascension. From Mount Ellanion you can enjoy a truly spectacular view of the Saronic Gulf.

Next to the port of Aegina is the archaeological site of Kolona, which took its name from the Venetian sailors, because they used the column of the temple of Apollo as a sign to navigate.
