AGATHONISI ISLAND
It is 36n.m. from Patmos and only 8n.m. from
the shores of Minor Asia. It is an island with virgin beauties and three small graphic
settlements, where you can experience closely the authentic island life. Residents
are really friendly and hospitable, and will be more than pleased to show you the
Greek hospitality. Agathonisi has three settlements. Agios Georgios, the island’s
port, Megalo and Mikro Chorio. Houses are built according to the traditional architecture
and have beautiful yards. The island is inhabited since archaic times. The most
important site is Tholi. They are byzantine structures, used as food storehouses.
The length of its shores reaches 32km. Small coves, protected from the winds, ports
and golden beaches make a beautiful puzzle of beaches with crystal clear waters.
Taste fava or filiokoukoudi, as the locals call it, in the taverns.
