Aegira Municipal Unit

The Municipal Unit of Aigeira is situated in the east side of Aigialeia and is the first village that someone meets when entering Achaia, as it is the border between the counties of Achaia and Corinthia. Its name, according to researchers, includes the morpheme ”iero” which, based on the decryption of Mycenaean writing, means ”holy”.

Aigeira is one of the most picturesque places in Aigialeia and claims its own share on the tourist map all year round. Its coastal settlement represents the essence of Greek summer. A picturesque harbour, an exotic sea with clear green waters, pebbled beaches to suit all tastes, a seabed suitable for exploration, beach bars and tavernas and several accommodation options, all the above unfolding against the backdrop of the area’s green mountains.

The visitor is able to enjoy not only the tourist market of the district, but also the beach of Aigeira, which is one of the most cosmopolitan beaches of Eastern Aigialeia. It also has very important archaeological monuments, such as the ”Ancient Theatre of Aigeira”, which has been preserved up until today.
