Megalochori is the capital of Agistri
and the biggest settlement of the island with 561 inhabitands.
Megalochori, also known as "Mylos", is situated
to the west of Skala and is the Administrative capital
of the island. The community's headquarters are situated
in Megalochori.
It has a natural port and a refueling marina for boats. Furthermore,
this is the docking area for Flying Dolphins arriving from
Piraeus.
Emerald crystal clear waters among natural bays which create sandy areas. Picturesque stone-paved alleys, traditional houses, cafeterias, elderly figures with local garments and the unique wind-mill, present through their existence this land's vivid history.
At Megalochori someone can admire
the Church os Zoodochos Pigi, at the
center of the village (1885). Stone made
houses, white-washed benches, indian-red
roofs, home-made bakeries, tidy yards meet the modern
hotel units.
Taverns, restaurants, cafes, snack-bars
and clubs are eager to host in the best
way all of you who visit our island.
Leaving the village and towards the pine-dwelled woods the visitor meets the small church of Saint Apostolon, an old church which invites the visitor to learn about the island's roots, Kadoudi, meaning the old village, what is left of Agistri's oldest settlement.
