Welcome to the island of #Agistri. A small #Caribbean paradise only a breath away from Athens #Greece.
In the heart of the Saronic Gulf lies a place with lush pine forests that literally reach the sea, enchanting beaches framed by the beautiful Greek blue and crystal clear waters.
The island has a size of 12 square kilometers and a population of 1150 permanent residents. In ancient times it was called Kekryfaleia which means adorned head. It consists of 4 settlements.
Megalochori, also known as Mylos from the windmill located on the edge of the village. It is the administrative capital of the island. Thanks to the new port that the flying dolphins approach, Piraeus #Athens is only 55 minutes away. Houses in traditional architectural style, hotels and rooms to let for quiet family moments, rest and countless places to gaze at the view and the blue skyline. Stroll in the beautiful alleys of the village that lead to traditional cafes and taverns. Authentic style and several places untouched by time will give your stay a special ambience.
Megalochori has two beaches with crystal clear waters in natural coves that create sandy and pebbled areas.
