Agathonisi is a small island located at the northern end of the Dodecanese prefecture in Greece. It is surrounded by numerous small islands and houses two villages: Megalo Chorio (Large Village) where most of the inhabitants live and Mikro Chorio (Small Village). The port of the island, St. George (Agios Georgios), depends on Megalo Chorio. There are a few hotels.
The highest point on the island is 209 meters above sea level. This summit is located near Mikro Chorio. The island has an area of 13.5 km2 and has 160 inhabitants. The community of Agathonisi, which includes the uninhabited islets of Glaros, Kounéli, Nera and Psathonísio, has a combined area of 14.5 km2.
It is a quiet, peaceful place, away from mass tourism. There you will find 2 grocery stores, a small protected harbor on the other side of the island in Katholiko, where Agathonisi fishermen and ‘domes’ are lost in the scrub and garrigue. These are Byzantine buildings of the eleventh century where food was probably stored.
You will also find some small isolated coves with crystal clear waters.
