| Only
one hour from Athens ... in the heart of the Saronic Gulf,
but off the tourist track, the small green island of Agistri is ideally
situated for day trips to the most famous sights of ancient Greece. Minutes from the harbour, waterfront tavernas, open-air bars and beach
umbrellas beckon, and beyond is an island of pine trees, olive groves,
isolated coves and minimal private traffic.On
the waterfront ... and minutes from the beach, all 33 rooms
of the hotel have hot water showers and balconies over-looking the sea. The
atmosphere is casual and friendly, no agents operate here, as we rely on
our friends to provide a unique holiday experience |
| In the evening ... Join
us in the terrace taverna overlooking the blue Aegean sea. Here, only the
best home-made Greek food is served as we meet new friends and listen to Greek music. After dinner perhaps a quiet
game of billiards or backgammon, or just a moonlight stroll.
For the sportive ... water-skiing, windsurfing, and volleyball are available on the beaches. Or you can spend your day
swimming, snorkeling or riding mountain bikes.

| Get an all-over suntan ... on the pebble beach or lounge around our well stocked beach-bar.
Crystal clear waters, secluded beaches and almost no private traffic await you
on this idyllic island.
Explore the island ... by foot, by bike,
or by moped. It's a small island, just 8 by 4 kilometres, but with sand beaches and many secluded bays.
Relax on a boat cruise ... to the neighboring islands of Poros and Hydra, or spend the day on a fishing trip, using
mask and flippers in our crystal clear waters. Or join our picnic trips to an island inhabited only by peacocks
and wild ponies. Tour ancient Greece ... to the Acropolis
in Athens, or on a one-day tour of the Argolis peninsular, visiting Mycenae, Nafplion, Corinth and Epidavros, or
spend a night watching a classical Greek play at the ancient amphitheatre at Epidavros. |
