Agistri is compact, but it still rewards a little planning. Skala and Megalochori connect easily by foot, taxi or local transport; beaches further out need more thought, especially in high season.

Your options on the island

Agistri is commonly explored by local bus, taxi, rented bicycle or e-bike, scooter, the seasonal tourist train where it’s operating, on foot, or by boat and sea taxi for beaches that are easier to reach from the water. Each mode suits a different kind of traveller: walkers can comfortably manage the Skala–Skliri–Chalikiada route and the Skala–Megalochori coastal walk, cyclists can connect the villages with the west and south beaches, and families may prefer bus, taxi or organised transport to avoid the midday heat and the island’s modest hills.

Good to know

Local transport on Agistri is seasonal, and schedules for the bus and tourist train change year to year. Check current timetables locally on arrival rather than relying on anything you read in advance, including this page.

• Bicycle and e-bike rental is available in Skala and Megalochori in season — book ahead in peak summer.
• Taxis exist but are limited in number; arrange one ahead for early ferries or evening returns from further beaches.
• If operating, the tourist train is a seasonal leisure option; confirm route and current service locally.
• Municipal sources point to a small local bus departing from Skala, in front of the Agioi Anargyroi church — treat this as a starting point for enquiries, not a fixed timetable.
• Distances are short, but July–August heat makes early starts worthwhile for walking or cycling.
