Agistri Vacation Tips
Agistri Island boasts pleasant weather throughout the year, but May-June and September-October offer milder temperatures and fewer crowds. This is a great time to explore the island without the hustle and bustle.
However, if you don’t mind the higher visitor numbers and a livelier atmosphere, the peak season of July and August can be a vibrant time to visit, although prices may be higher during this period.
Make sure to pack your beach essentials such as swimwear and sunscreen. Bring comfortable shoes for exploring the island’s villages and scenic trails.
Agistri’s evenings can be cool, especially during the shoulder seasons, so don’t forget to pack a light jacket or sweater. It’s also a good idea to carry cash, as some smaller villages may not have credit card facilities available.
