Beaches on Agathonissi

If you are looking for an island with great beaches, I am sorry to disappoint you. Agathonissi is not for beach lovers, there are only a few beaches and they are only of decent quality, not more than that. But it is not for the beaches that people travel here, there are other things that are important, like peace and quiet. The best beach on the island is in the port, it is the beach that most people prefer. Sunbeds and parasols are not available for rent at Agathonissi.

The beach in Agios Georgios is the island's best beach and the only beach with a taverna.

There are no sunbeds at Agathonissi but there are shady tamarisk trees.

If you follow the road that begins where the port beach ends you'll get to Spilia beach. The beach consists of large pebbles and looks finer from a distance than it is in reality. But the water is as inviting as the water in the port. Just like on the port beach, there are shady tamarisk trees on Spilia beach.

The lampposts are powered by solar cells, which the islanders are very proud of.

Agathonissi's only sandy beach is Poros and it lies east of Megalo Chorio. The beach is small and rather mediocre, but it is nicely situated in a narrow bay and there is plenty of shade from nearby trees.

Unfortunately, rubbish is usually blown in at Poros beach, and sometimes cows have been there and pooped, so in my opinion the beach is not worth the long walk it takes to go there. It is better to stay at the beach in the port.

Vathi Pigadi beach is east of Megalo Chorio.
