Getting from Agistri to Chios

If you are heading to Chios from Agistri you are making your way from a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf to one of the most overlooked islands in the northeastern Aegean, famous above all for its mastic trees in the south of the island that produce a resin found nowhere else on earth.

It is a long overnight journey and flying is considerably more practical for most travelers.
