Angistri, also Agistri and Ankistri or Agkistri (Greek: αγκίστρι, English: "fishing hook") is a very small island community in the Saronic Gulf in Piraeus Prefecture, Greece. Angistri is a pine-covered island only a few kilometres across the harbor of Piraeus.

Settlements

Skala (pop. 354) is a twenty-minute walk from Milos along the coastal road. Skala is where most of the tourist facilities and hotels are.

Its land area is 13.367 km².
