Getting from Telendos to Agistri

If you are heading to Agistri from Telendos you are making your way from a tiny car-free island off the western coast of Kalymnos in the Dodecanese 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.
