Introducing Agathonisi
You could be forgiven for not knowing the existence of Agathonisi (agh-atho-ni-see). It barely shows up on any traveller’s radar. Yet it’s a smugly reserved and quiet little getaway isle, where latter-day Robinson Crusoes, serious island hoppers or north–south transients might just turn up. Agathonisi is predictably rocky and dry, has minimal settlements and little organised entertainment, yet pulls in a determined procession of travellers who really do want that left-of-centre holiday time out. Accommodation is fine yet simple, food is unfussy yet good quality, and there’s little to do other than reflect, read and get ready for that next swim.
