AGATHONISI is another small
island which belongs to the Province of Kalymnos and is 36 nautical miles
east of Patmos, about 2 hours and 30 minutes by boat.
It is very near the coast of Asia Minor.
Agathonisi means the fools' island or the island of the good hearted people,
so the name alone predisposes the visitor to understand that this is a very
peaceful and good-natured island. It is an ideal place to feel secluded and
far away from everything and everyone, as indeed you are, since regular boat
communication with Patmos is only twice a week.
