Getting from Chios to Agistri

If you are heading to Agistri from Chios you are making your way from one of the most overlooked islands in the northeastern Aegean to a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf, on the opposite side of Greece. It is almost entirely covered in forest with good beaches and clear water close to Athens.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Chios to Agistri. Getting there by sea means taking the overnight Chios to Piraeus ferry, which runs around 3 times a week and takes around 9 hours, and then boarding 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. Alternatively fly from Chios to Athens and take the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Agistri.

Getting there by air

Agistri has no airport. The nearest airport is Athens. Chios has its own airport with daily connections from Athens. Flying from Chios to Athens and then taking the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Agistri gives a total journey time of around 4 to 5 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Fly from Chios 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. If you are traveling with a car, take the overnight ferry from Chios to Piraeus and take the conventional ferry across to Agistri.
