Top Attractions in Augusta
💡 Visit during late afternoon mass (around 17:30) to hear the organ played. The side chapel has a small painted wooden crucifix worth close inspection.
💡 Walk around the outer walls at sunset for the best views of the port and Ionian Sea. No signage on site—read up on its history beforehand.
💡 Buy a bag of pistachios from the stall at the far end near the cathedral—roasted on the spot. Best time is 09:00 before the vendors start packing up.
💡 Go early on weekdays to avoid crowds. Bring your own umbrella and water—no kiosks nearby. The best swimming spot is past the small jetty at the southern end.
💡 Check if the temporary exhibition on the 1930s hydroplanes is on—it’s oddly fascinating. The staff give a brief free tour if you ask nicely.
