maraike Says: Go swimming, have a coffee or a drink, go walking around the island (definitely see the view in the evening from Metohi) visit the beaches that are on the right side of the harbour and are more isolated. And just relax... There is not much to run to see, you don't need much...
Guantanamera Says: Greece will completely redefine your concept of blue... There is nothing else like it, anywhere in the world... The bluest blues and the most lovely blues... The famous French conceptual artist Yves Klein should have launched his "blue revolution" from here...
Scala beach: Rooms with a -great- view
maraike Says: Perfect! Rooms are wonderful, the view is perfect, people are friendly, prices are cheap and everything is close to you. The sea, the pool, the bar of the hotel, where you can relax and have something to drink or eat, the taverns, the harbour, the bus stop... Everything. And...
maraike Says: One of the loveliest taverns on the island. I don't remember the name of it (we always sat outside and...didn't care!), but it is located in Skala right from the harbour, next to the church. You can look at the beach and the sunset from it and just relax.
Guantanamera Says: In the photo shown here, Guantanamera prepares to shoot... The tension is mounting as the entire Agistri Island Championship is on the line...! It was a difficult match and my opponent was a seasoned player, much better than me... I would need a little luck...!Final score:...
The Agistri Island pool championship.
Guantanamera Says: There's not much nightlife happening at Agistri Island, but Eirini and I found a perfect little pool hall with a bar and played a few matches together... Featured here, Eirini takes aim with fierce determination! Can Greece defeat USA???
maraike Says: There are several ways to go there: Ferries from Pireaus or Aigina, catamarans, flying dolphins and even sea - taxis, and in the morning there are constantly routes, almost every hour. I prefer catamarans (they are named "Thunder 1" and "Thunder 2"). And I prefer them,...
SWFC_Fan Says: The island of Agistri can easily be reached from neighbouring Aegina.The "Agistri Express" boat makes the short (9 minutes) journey from Aegina Town to Agistri frequently throughout the day.Upon reaching Agistri, the boat stops first at Skala and then at Megalochori (also...
Guantanamera Says: Regular ferry service departs from Piraeus. Catamaran takes about an hour, slow ferry takes about 2 hours, with stops at Aegina Island.Agistri is a small island, easy to get around with a moped. Skala town is easy to get around just walking.
Guantanamera Says: Pictured here, VT member Irine_29 at the beach in a carefully cropped photo...! It's a rocky beach so you might want to bring something soft to lay down on... And don't forget to bring a supply of water or cold drinks because there is nowhere around to get refreshments...
Guantanamera Says: We went out exploring the island together and discovered a fantastic 'clothing optional' beach, not far from Skala town...! Just start heading out of Skala town along the periphery of the island, you'll find it... In the photo shown here, it's just alongside the sea, below...
Guantanamera Says: Watching Eirini walk into the sea and take a swim in the cool, refreshing waters of the Aegean Sea was one of the fondest memories, among many, from our trip to Agistri Island... This shot was taken by the Skala town beach, in the area of the town center... This beach is...
Guantanamera Says: Eirini, also known as VT member Irine_29, is originally from Lefkada in the Ionian islands group... We spent a week-end together away from Athens on lovely Agistri Island... In this photo, she poses in front of the immaculate white dome of Agistri Island's Greek Orthodox...
daarth Says: Hope to come back one day :-)
Saying goodbye to new friends.
daarth Says: Of all the places I have traveled, the people of Greece are the easiest to become friends with.
daarth Says: The only turist trap. I think it was a German club with an outdoor disco built into the cliff.Now I understand there are more hotels on the island. Since I doubt I will travel to greece again with a tent, it suits me fine:-)
daarth Says: I have heard of Island hopping. Those that have tried it recomend it a lot. Would like to try that someday...
daarth Says: I have serched the net on Agistri, and I think I recognize this beach on other pages. Now there is a lot of buildings there, but the beach is still ideal.
daarth Says: We asked for a campingplace. They said, put up the tent anywere!
daarth Says: From Pyreus I took a local boat to an island. When I made this page I couldn't remember the name, but it was between 1/2 and 1 hour by boat. We stoped at another island on the way. It was 20 years ago, so it isn't easy to remember. I took a chance and asked V.T. member...

It's one of the smallest islands in the Aegeum, near Aigina. It's really close to Athens (just 50 minutes away by catamaran), and really green! Till 2005, I used to go there every summer, on weekends...
