How do I get to Agistri?
By ferry! There are two options to choose from – both from Piraeus port, in Athens. You can either take the ferry (1:30 hr trip) to Skala port in Agistri island or the “flying dolphin” (55 minutes trip) to Megalochori port.

The Top 7 Agistri Beaches for a Greek Island Escape
Without further ado let’s jump straight into this article!
1. Skala Beach: Where Tranquility Meets Turquoise Waters
Nestled in the heart of Skala, the main village of Agistri Island, lies Skala Beach, a tranquil haven for sun-seekers.
Here, golden sands stretch as far as the eye can see, inviting visitors to bask in the warm Mediterranean sun.
With its calm and shallow waters, Skala Beach is ideal for families with young children.
Skala Beach is one of the organized beaches in Agistri! Here you will find hotels, sun loungers, umbrellas, beach bars, tavernas, and water sports rentals.
Very close to the beach; you will find the white church of Agioi Anargyri. To the left is a new tourist area known as Skliri, with similar features.
In the same direction, there is a beautiful path through lots of pine trees leading to Chalkidiada Beach. That one is more suitable for those seeking solitude (more on that below).
2. Chalikiada Beach: Surfers’ Paradise
For adrenaline junkies and water sports enthusiasts, Chalikiada Beach is the place to be. Located on the northern coast of Agistri Island, this windswept beach is renowned for its strong winds. This makes it ideal for windsurfing and kiteboarding.
Whether you’re a pro or a beginner, Chalikiada Beach offers endless thrills, excitement and breathtaking sea views.
Chalikiada Beach is a 10-minute walk through the forest from the “Skliri” area. The Area is well known for free camping and the nudist beach!
It’s known for its unique black volcanic sand and stunning rock formations! It doesn’t offer facilities like sunbeds, umbrellas, or beach bars. Visitors to Chalikiada Beach should be prepared to bring their own supplies for a day at the beach.
3. Aponisos Beach: A Secluded Retreat
One of the most famous Agistri beaches and for good reason! It’s a very small, organized, private island connected with a platform to Agistri Island.
As you approach Aponisos Beach, you’ll be greeted by a picturesque landscape of lush greenery, pristine sands, and crystal-clear waters.
Spend your days lounging under the shade of swaying pine trees, or venture into the calm sea for a leisurely swim or snorkeling adventure.
Bear in mind that this isn’t an actual beach with sand! Access is through a platform or diving into the sea.
Aponisos Beach on Agistri Island is an organized beach, offering sun loungers, umbrellas, and a beach bar. Visitors can pay a 5 euro entry to the beach club, rent sunbeds, and purchase refreshments.
I recommend reserving a sunbed & umbrella, tel: +306974785367 / +302297091666. The place gets packed!
4. Dragonera Beach: Where Myth Meets Majesty
Named for its unique rock formations resembling the back of a dragon, Dragonera Beach is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and photographers.
Located on the eastern coast of Agistri Island, this enchanting beach offers a dramatic backdrop of rugged cliffs and sparkling waters.
Explore the hidden coves and sea caves that dot the shoreline, or simply relax on the soft sands and marvel at the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Dragonera is a mildly organized beach with umbrellas, snacks & cocktails at Dragonera Sunset Coast beach bar. There, you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and cocktails, and everything is served in eco-friendly wooden food boats
The beach bar plays chill-out music daily and On Saturdays There are Beach parties with DJs.
Dragonera Beach offers a picturesque and tranquil setting for swimming, snorkeling, and soaking up the natural beauty of Agistri Island.
5. Megalochori Beach: A Slice of Serenity
Megalochori Beach is a peaceful retreat nestled in the charming village of Megalochori.
Traditional fishing boats bob gently in the harbor, while visitors lounge on the sun-drenched sands.
Megalochori Beach (or Milos Beach) is a beautiful stretch of coastline with crystal-clear waters and soft sand. There are some bars, cafes, and restaurants in the area too!
With its calm, shallow waters and panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, Megalochori Beach is the perfect spot to unwind.
6. Skliri Beach: A Secluded Paradise
Definitely one of my favorite beaches in Aggistri, if not No1!
Skliri Beach is a mix of sand and pebbled beach with clear waters, very close to the central village of Skala. If you are looking for serenity and untouched beauty, this is the place for you!
Tucked between rocky cliffs adorned with lush greenery, this hidden cove offers a gorgeous sense of tranquility.
The soft, golden sands gently slope into the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, inviting visitors to wade in and feel the refreshing embrace of the sea.
With its serene atmosphere and pristine surroundings, Skliri Beach is the perfect spot to escape the cares of the world and immerse oneself in the natural wonders of Agistri Island.
Known for its secluded and natural beauty, it isn’t an organized beach. There are no sun loungers, umbrellas, or beach bars. Skliri Beach offers a more rugged and unspoiled experience, perfect for those seeking solitude and connection with nature.
Tia’s Tip! The shores of Skliri Beach are rocky and a little steep – therefore please be careful when accessing the beach!
P.s Take your dog along, this beach is dog friendly!
7. Limanaki Beach: A Slice of Paradise
Limanaki Beach, nestled along the rugged coastline of Agistri Island, captivates visitors with its pristine beauty and tranquil ambiance.
Tucked away in a sheltered cove by the port, this picturesque beach boasts powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters that beckon sunseekers and swimmers alike.
The surrounding cliffs, adorned with vibrant greenery, provide a stunning backdrop against the azure sea, creating a scene straight out of a postcard.
With its unspoiled natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere, it’s no wonder that Limanaki Beach is considered one of the hidden treasures of Agistri Island.
Undeniably, the atmosphere at Limanaki Beach tends to be more relaxed and less crowded. This allows visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings without the hustle and bustle of larger tourist crowds.
