Souvala - resort port town on the north coast of the picturesque Greek island of Aegina. It is located about 9-10 km from the capital of the island of the same name and is the second largest settlement of Aegina.

The settlement existed here in ancient times and was called Ia. The modern name of the city comes from the word "Suva", which means an artificial water storage tank is usually open. Such structures carved into the rock and was probably used as the thermal baths were discovered on the eastern outskirts of the city, near the mineral spring "Terma". This is one of the most famous springs in Europe known since antiquity and recommended in the treatment of arthritis, rheumatism, skin diseases, gastro-intestinal tract, etc. Unfortunately, today the hospital is located is closed.

At a time when the capital of the island is Paleochora (late 9th - early 19th century), Suva was the main harbor of the island. After the city became the capital of Aegina, located on the coast and has an excellent harbor, the port of Souvala gradually lost its strategic importance and the middle of the last century Souvala turned into a small fishing village.

The rapid development in recent decades has transformed Souvala the second largest port of Aegina and the very popular resort, while maintaining the unique atmosphere of a traditional Greek village. The basic life of the city is concentrated in the summer near the waterfront. Here you will find many excellent restaurants, taverns and cafes (many at the same time overlooking the sea), where you can relax and enjoy the excellent local cuisine. Available in Souvala and a good range of hotels and apartments.

Near the harbor is a nice beach town. However, a number of good beaches you will find in and around Souvala, most of them are relatively shallow and has a sandy bottom. Specific wind, typical for the northern coast of Aegina, creates ideal conditions for windsurfing.
