CULTURAL TOURISM
It is worth visiting the great archeological findings that exist in the Cultural Center of Megalochori.
ECOTOURISM
The Lake is a beautiful and picturesque wetland that used to be salty. A small communication channel to the sea has been opened to renew its waters.
Around the Lake there is a dirt road, about 800 meters, with which we can explore the lake and the area.
It is an idyllic area, with rich pine vegetation, located on the road that crosses Limenaria to Aponisos.
HIKING TOURISM
In Agistri you can find natural harbors of unparalleled beauty, windless coves, sandy beaches, picturesque fishing villages and lush vegetation, dominated by pine trees that reach the sea. The road is passable, the distances are very short and you can visit them easily and quickly with a means of transport.
Skala is a large, sandy beach, with golden sand, crystal clear shallow waters. It is located just 100 meters from the port, on the northeast coast of the island. The organized beach of Skala gathers most people and many families because the sea is shallow and safe for children.
To the left of Skala, following the coastal road above the port, southeast, one meets the famous rocky beach of Skliri.
Continuing, after a fairy-tale route through the pines, we end after 500 meters, in a natural blue bay with thick pebbles and crystal clear waters, in the enchanting Halikiada. From one point onwards access is difficult and is only possible on foot, therefore great care is required. The sea there at the beginning is shallow and after 5 meters it becomes quite deep.
To the right of Skala, going west, the coastal road leads us, after 15 minutes on foot, about 2 km, to Megalochori or Mylos, which has a very nice beach for swimming, with pebbles and sand. Megalochori is the capital and largest settlement of the island.
Between Skala and Megalochori, on the mountain slope, is Metochi, a beautiful, picturesque and very cool village with panoramic views, which can be approached either from Skala or Megalochori with a detour from the coastal road.
The coastal road after Megalochori turns to the south and passes parallel to the beach, at a distance from it passing through a dense forest and meeting beautiful coves with clear blue waters.
With a detour we reach the impressive, sandy beach of Mikri and Megali Dragonera, which has crystal clear, shallow waters and pines that reach the sea. Access is easy and is via an asphalt road.
The road continues to the south, crosses the island and after Polemi we reach the traditional village of Limenaria and the picturesque port of Mareza, which is 200 meters from Limenaria.
Mareza is a rocky beach, embraced by pine trees, with deep crystal clear waters, to which access is easy by any means of transport.
After Limenaria the road turns to the west and we reach a magical location, Aponisos, with the pines adorning its beach, which ends in small flat rocks. The impressive combination of colors and the sea transports you to exotic places, giving you moments of relaxation and calm. From Aponisos we can admire the idyllic sunset of the Saronic Gulf.
North of the beach of Aponisos we face the deserted beaches of Magiza and Bariama. Further on we meet the largest island, the picturesque Dorousa, which is worth visiting.
Agistri is a small island, without high altitudes. Visitors who are lovers of hiking can make special trips, on amazing paths, in the fairy-tale forest of the island.
