A shuttle journey that lasts about 45 minutes for the whole journey takes one from Piraeus to Agistri Island.

Beyond this small journey is a mesmerizing island with deep blue waters, untouched by pollutants and its rich greenery unspoiled by man. Between this natures treasure, there are plenty of venues that are worthy of being travelled for to this tiny island of Agistri.

Beaches:

The Skala beach at Agistri Island is most frequented by tourists. The nearby village is Skala..

The gradual slope ensures that visitors experience no unexpected depths or rapid waves, making it safe for families with young children and thus popular amongst tourists. For the convenience of tourists this popular spot also houses several services, like sun beds, umbrellas, towels etc for rent. Tourists frolicking on the beach can also visit the nearby church which is a splendid piece of architecture.

Tourists who prefer naturism can also visit the Halikadha beach at the Agistri Island and feel right at home with people who share their mindsets. Agistri can thus fulfill the requirements of all types of tourists looking for a perfect vacation

Boat Trips to Surrounding Islands:

The small uninhabited islands around Agistri are also popular amongst tourists. These 4 islands are serviced by special boats that take interested tourists to Metopi, Kira, Spalathronisi and Darousa for snorkeling and other activities. Diving courses are also available for novices and to those with some experience

Historical Sites:

The Agioi Theodoroi and Agioi Pandes are two chapels located in the midst of heavy forestation of pine trees.

They are possibly one of the oldest standing buildings on the island, and part of Agistri’s history and heritage. Another attraction is the Virgin Mary Church which can be reached via a trekking path surrounded by beautiful pine trees.

Several other historical churches are found on this island.
