Settlements

There are only three settlements on Angistri - Milos, Skala and Limenaria. Milos is the main village where the majority of the Greek population of the island live. Skala is a twenty minute walk from Milos along the coastal road. Skala is where most of the tourist hotels are. Limenaria is a very small village on the other side of the island with very little tourism.

Location

Angistri is very close to the larger Saronic island of Aegina. The island can be reached from here by a number of boats in just ten minutes. These boats include the Angistri Express and a number of small "Water Taxis". The island is also an hours boat ride from the large Athenian port of Piraeus.
