Sheltered inlets and a tiny community at the northern edge of the Dodecanese.
Agathonisi is a remote island of three small settlements, indented bays and ancient vaulted structures, reached on limited regional ferries.
Agathonisi's coastline folds into deep, protected inlets that have long attracted fishing boats and sailors. Agios Georgios is the port, while Megalo Chorio and Mikro Chorio sit inland among dry-stone fields and low hills.
At Tholoi, unusual vaulted Byzantine structures stand near ancient remains, evidence of a longer settled history than the island's size suggests. Visitors come for quiet water and community scale, not organised attractions.
Practical information
Ferries connect Agathonisi with Patmos, Samos and nearby Dodecanese islands on limited schedules. Bring cash and essentials, book ahead and leave room for weather changes.
