Makronisos Island
Μακρόνησος

While Makronisos may not boast the bustling marinas of Mykonos or Santorini, it offers a unique blend of quiet charm and practicality. Your primary port of call will be the small, sheltered harbour of Agios Georgios, conveniently located on the island’s west coast.

It’s a cozy spot with all the essentials – fuel, water, and friendly locals ready to share their island wisdom. Don’t be surprised if you see a few “mythical creatures” lurking about, but fear not, these are just the friendly fishermen of Makronisos, always happy to share a tale or two.

For a taste of “modern-day luxury,” you can also head north to the more developed harbour of Agios Konstantinos, with its bustling tavernas and array of services.
Forget the crowded beaches of the world, here in Makronisos, you’ll find secluded coves and pristine bays begging to be explored.

Drop anchor in the sheltered waters of Agii Theodori, where you can swim with dolphins and admire the ancient ruins of a temple dedicated to Poseidon, the god of the seas. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, head south to the rugged coastline of Plati, where the waves are strong and the beaches are wild. Just remember, it’s said that the nymphs of the sea still guard these shores, so be respectful and leave the place as beautiful as you found it. And if you’re lucky, maybe you’ll even catch a glimpse of the mythical creatures said to roam this island paradise.
