From the Athens airport to Agistri
Step 1: From Athens airport to Piraeus
On your arrival at the airport we would recommend that you use the X96 athens airport bus from the airport (as taxis can be very expensive) this service operates continuously throughout the day direct to the port and takes about 60 to 75 minutes depending on the traffic.
Tickets are 5 euros and can be bought at the ticket office next to the bus stop.
Step 2: From Piraeus seaport to Agistri island
You need to buy your ferry tickets from the kiosk in bay 8 where you can take the flying dolphin or the car ferry, the flying dolphin is will take you to the port of Milos on Agistri, where you can take the bus to Skala, or give us a call and we will meet you there.
The car ferry will take you to Skala port and we are just a short walk from there.
Church of Agioi Anargyroi
A 20th-century church for the 3rd-century Saints Cosmas and Damian, the cruciform Agioi Anargyroi is one of Agistri’s most photographed buildings. The church is reflected on the water in Skala, and its main dome and apse are painted light blue. Like all of the religious buildings on Agistri, it’s a sight to savour from the outside, apart from during the feast of St Cosmas and Damian, on 1 July when it’s the focus of a folk celebration.

Chalikiada Beach
On the east coast, Chalikiada Beach is a pebble cove guarded by high cliffs. You’ll want to pause over the view before you step down the beach, to see Aegina and Moni Island in the distance. Thanks to its more intimate setting, Chalikiada Beach is the only beach in the Agistri and Aegina area to cater to naturists. The shore pitches quite steeply into the water, and the currents may sometimes be too much for non-swimmers, but will be fine for everyone else. It’s best to come prepared to this remote beach, but if you need anything Skala is only a few hundred metres away. It’s not unusual to see a small village of tents on the beach as people often camp out here in the summer.
