Between this natures treasure, there are plenty of venues that are worthy of being travelled for to this tiny island of Agistri.
Beaches:
The most popular beach on the island is the Skala beach. Its popularity is enhanced by the fact that it has no rocky ledges protruding and has shallow, timid waters making it safe for both children and adults. Being the most popular, it houses several services for tourist, and there are sun beds, umbrellas and many other items available for hire, for the convenience of the tourist. A big church in the vicinity is as popular as the beach amongst the tourists. Tourists who prefer to shed their inhibitions and support naturism have the option of visiting the nudist Halikadha beach at Agistri Island. Hence Agistri has something to offer for everyone and is the ideal vacation destination
Boat Trips to Surrounding Islands:
The small uninhabited islands around Agistri are also popular amongst tourists. Special boats operate between the islands of Metopi, Darousa, Spalathronisi and Kira, where tourists can undertake snorkeling and swimming around the shores. Diving courses are also available for novices and to those with some experience.
Historical Sites:
The two chapels namely Agioi Pandes and Theodoroi are located in the middle of a heavy cover of beautiful pine trees. They are possibly one of the oldest standing buildings on the island, and part of Agistri’s history and heritage. The Virgin Mary Church at Metochi is another spot tourists may be interested in, and are led up by a path of heavy trees. Several other historical churches are found on this island.
