Agathonisi

AGATHONISI is another small island which belongs to the Province of Kalymnos and is 36 nautical miles east of Patmos, about 2 hours and 30 minutes by boat.

It is very near the coast of Asia Minor.

Its name by itself predisposes the visitor to understand that this is a very peaceful and good-natured island. An ideal place to feel secluded and far away from everything and everyone, as indeed you are, since regular boat communication with Patmos is only twice a week.

The inhabitants are mainly fishermen.

If you plan to stay, there are about 40 rented rooms on the island which one can book.

A useful phone number is that of the island's public community 0247-23791.

So should you feel like exploring these small Hellenic islands you will indeed feel you have entered another world.

Are you up to it?

(Translation: The fools' island or the island of the good hearted people)
