Agathonissi is the most northern of the islands in Dodekaneserna. It's a small island both when it comes to numbers inhabitants and the area, here lives approximately 110 persons distributed on three villages. The port Agios Georgios is the "big" the tourist town, other villages are Megalo Chorio and Micro Chorio, both lies on walk distances from the port. In Agios Georgios there are four pensions, three restaurants, two cafés and a small minimarket. In Megalo Chorio there is one restaurant, a kafenión and two minimarkets. Mikro Chorio is very small; if you close your eyes for a second you will miss the village. The beaches on the island are of decent quality; best is the one in the port.

Agathonissi is a perfect island for everyone that wants to escape from stress, read many books and for everyone who can to amuse themselves.

Getting there
Simplest is to fly to Samos and further on with ferry. Agathonissi have connections with Samos, Arki, Patmos, Lipsi, Patmos and Kalymnos every second day - the year around - with the small ferry Nisos Kalymnos. During high season there is a Flying Dolphin to and from Samos a couple days a week.

Accommodation
The range is limited, but it comes so few tourists that finding a room is not a problem. Except in August of course, then you must reserve in advance. I can recommend Glaros (Seagull) close to the small beach. Five spacious and fresh studio's, all has balcony and AC. In same house exists Glaros Taverna where you can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. A lot of good food and low prices. The owners - Jannis and Voula - do everything for their customers.
