Epiphany — blessing of the waters

📅 Wednesday, 06 January 2027 📍 Aegina harbour

Public holiday. Banks, public offices and most shops closed. Ferries run a holiday timetable — check before you travel.

After the morning liturgy the cross is thrown into the sea at the harbour and swimmers dive for it. One of the few winter mornings when the whole town is out on the quay. Dress for cold.
