Getting from Agios Efstratios to Agistri
If you are heading to Agistri from Agios Efstratios you are making your way from one of the most isolated islands in the northern Aegean to a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf, almost entirely covered in forest with good beaches and clear water close to Athens.
Take the ferry
There is no direct ferry from Agios Efstratios to Agistri. Getting there means taking the ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lemnos, which runs 4 times a week in summer and takes around 1 hour 30 minutes, flying to Athens and then taking the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Agistri, which takes around 55 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes with up to 15 daily departures in summer.
Getting there by air
Agistri has no airport. The nearest airport is Athens. Taking the ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lemnos, flying to Athens and then taking the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Agistri gives a total journey time of around 5 to 6 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.
Your best option
Take the ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lemnos, fly to Athens and take the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Agistri. With up to 15 daily departures in summer you never need to book the Piraeus to Agistri connection in advance.
