5Agistri – Athens’ Closest Tropical Escape

If you’re dreaming of turquoise waters and a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere, Agistri is your go-to. Just 55 minutes from Piraeus, this small island feels like a faraway paradise. With only a handful of villages and a lot of green, Agistri is perfect for nature lovers and swimmers. 

Dragonera and Aponisos are must-visit beaches, known for their translucent waters and pine-fringed shores. The island is also great for cycling and snorkeling, offering simple pleasures in abundance.
