Geography

Angistri is a pine-covered island in the Saronic Islands group.

Angistri is very close to the larger Saronic island of Aegina. The island can be reached from Aegina by a number of boats in just ten minutes. These boats include the Angistri Express and a number of small "water taxis". The island is also an hour's boat ride from the large Athenian port of Piraeus.
