A small chapell for the holy Marina gave the village it´s name.The beauty of the nature, the wonderful woods and the coast, save of the northwinds and ideal to take a swim are really the best reasons for a successful development of tourism.Right to the small harbour there is a wide sandy beach, inviting kids and everybody who prefers flat water.Lefthand to the harbour you will find the cliffs, an ideal place to dive and snorcel, On this rocky coast(leading up to Tourlos)there are still very lonely places, where you can enjoy the seaside-even in the most busy seasons! You will reach the coast over beautful ways trough the woods or walking along the "limit of wood-burn" The life in Aghia Marina is concentrated arround the main road and the smaller streets, leading to the beach. A lot of restaurants and all kinds of shops are waiting for your visit! The left turn at the end of the mainroad along the coast-side will take you to Portes, the last village on the eastside of the island. You can enjoy fresh fish, the crystal waters and the stony beach, there.

Walking to Alones, for your way back you can take one of the horse-coaches, waiting in front of the tavernes. Following the road after Alones, near to Messagros you can catch the mainroad Aegina-Messagros-Aghia Marina.
