A beautiful tourist destination near Greece's capital

Visitors can swim in the amazing azure waters while being surrounded by pine trees and lush vegetation

Newsroom August 4 11:40

Agkistri is a charming small island just 19 nautical miles away from Piraeus, the main port of Greece.

Visitors can swim in the amazing azure waters while being surrounded by pine trees and lush vegetation, where many bird species find refuge.

There are three large settlements on the island: Megalohori, Skala and Limenaria. Most of the tourists prefer to stay at Skala and Megalohori since these are the two biggest villages and provide more bars, restaurants and accommodation facilities.

If you are not the type of person who is satisfied with just swimming, sunbathing and eating delicious Greek dishes, then you will love Agkistri because it provides many activities: water sports, horse riding, cycling and hiking.
