Alonissos
Tucked away in the shimmering Aegean Sea, Alonissos is a tranquil, green island that offers a perfect retreat steeped in traditional Greek charm. With just one main town and three picturesque villages, this small, fertile paradise is a haven for relaxation, where time slows down under the warm embrace of the Greek sun.
Reaching Alonissos is part of the adventure—a scenic 90-minute boat journey from Skiathos, with a brief stop at Skopelos along the way. Upon arrival at the port of Patitiri, the island’s capital, an idyllic bay fis ramed by cliffs and intriguing rock formations.
The old town of Alonissos, perched on a hilltop, is a delightful maze of cobblestone streets and bougainvillea-draped houses. Down by the harbour, there are a selection of inviting tavernas, quaint shops, and restaurants offering authentic Greek cuisine.
Exploring further inland reveals the island’s natural treasures: rolling wooded hillsides, dense pine forests, and flourishing fruit orchards. Alonissos is also blessed with countless secluded coves and bays, most with shingle or pebble beaches. The nearby Megalos Mourtias Beach, just a short walk from town, boasts spectacular panoramic views across the water to Skopelos
