Agathonisi Island

It was a 16 mile downwind sail to Agathonisi today. It took us just under 4 hours. Genoa most of the way.

We anchored in the first bay just past Ak Stifi (No. 3 above)

…….. a beer for me

From the anchorage I thought you could possibly climb up over the hill and walk down and around into Agathonisi proper. Here are some pictures from the trip.

The harbour front and walkway

There are a couple of  tavernas, one specialising in fish , a small cafe and a minimarket. This is where the ferry arrives if you want a “get away from it all” spot, there’s even a little beach. Turns out George (the meat Taverna) is Kleanthis’s Uncle and apparently the best goat comes from here.

One thought on “Agathonisi Island”

  1. Looks beautiful but so strangely quiet. It is as though you are anchored at a desert island. I would be feart at night. Lol Who am I kidding, I would be feart in the daylight. It looks so surreal.
