Getting from Agistri to Pserimos

If you are heading to Pserimos from Agistri you are making your way from a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf to a tiny island wedged between Kos and Kalymnos in the Dodecanese group, on the opposite side of Greece. It has a single sandy beach, a handful of tavernas and accommodation that makes it worth staying overnight rather than just passing through on a day trip.

Your best option

Take the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus, fly to Kos or Kalymnos via Athens and take the local boat across to Pserimos.
