Adventure among coasts, caves and the seabed
If you dream of a journey that unites the sea, nature and mystery, Agios Efstratios Island is the ultimate destination. The entire coastal zone of the island is a Natura 2000 protected habitat, covering an area of more than 6,000 hectares, with sea caves, Posidonia meadows and impressive coasts. It is no coincidence that the island's sea cliffs are ideal shelters for the population of the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus). Do not be surprised if you see beautiful Eleonora's falcons, the proud hawks that breed in Greece, as well as other important species of seabirds, just a few meters away from you.
Sailing on a vessel will offer you unlimited possibilities to discover this unknown world. Start from the caves of Fokia (Seal Cave), Tripia Spilia (Hole Cave) and Katafygi (Shelter), which reveal a wild and charming side of nature. To get away from the ordinary, do not forget to visit beaches such as Agios Dimitrios, with its fine black volcanic pebbles and oaks, Trigari, with its golden sand, and Lydario, with its huge coastline – all really hidden pieces of paradise.
In the water, Posidonia meadows wave under the sunlight, hosting rich marine life. If you are a fan of diving and snorkelling, you will dive into a world of colours - each dive evolving into a meeting with fish, algae, corals and seabed surprises. It is important to act with respect for the environment and to follow safety rules. If necessary, ask for the assistance of a certified trainer.
Rent a vessel, explore the coastlines, discover the caves and dive into the crystal-clear waters. Agios Efstratios Island is an invitation to a sea full of surprises.
