Agistri

Agistri is a tourist Greek island, full of pine trees, which has approximately 1.100 inhabitants and covers an area of 14 sq kilometers. That makes it the smallest island of the Argosaronic. It is located west of Aegina, in the heart of the Saronic and administratively belongs to the Attiki prefecture.

The distance from Piraeus port is 22 nautical miles, and just 3.5 nautical miles from Aegina, something that makes it an ideal summer destination for short or longer vacations. There is a daily ferry connection to the port of Piraeus. The duration of the trip by ferry is 1.5 hour, while by a flying dolphin just 55 minutes. The proximity to the port of Piraeus and its unparalleled beauty make Agistri a small paradise near Athens and the most popular destination among people who live in Athens, especially for short holidays. In the summer, Agistri floods with people and becomes a popular tourist destination.

Because of the short distance between the islands of the Argosaronic, it is easy to travel from one island to another. There is a direct connection from Agistri to Aegina, lasting just 15 minutes, a connection from Aegina to Poros-Methana and one from Poros to Ydra-Spetses. Additionally, during the summer months, the ship “Agistri Express” and the sea taxis of the island organize trips in the Argosaronic.
