Getting from Agistri to Oinousses

If you are heading to Oinousses from Agistri you are making your way from a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf to a small cluster of islands just off the northeastern coast of Chios in the northeastern Aegean. It has a naval tradition that produced a disproportionate share of Greece's great shipping dynasties and almost no tourist infrastructure.
