Getting from Agistri to Alonissos

If you are heading to Alonissos from Agistri you are making your way from a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf to the most remote of the Sporades group, in the northern Aegean. It has a densely forested coastline, a beautifully preserved old village above the port and a marine park that protects the largest colony of Mediterranean monk seals in Europe.
