The busy fishermen with open fishing nets, the shining sand, beautiful taverns and colourful boats at the bay, the white-washed houses and the scrubby and rocky land at the backdrop, all these set the landscape of Alopronoia.
Alopronoia is known for a special fishing activity during August to December. The villagers use a special kind of bait called “kaftero” and fish for squids in the night. Tourists also join the fishermen.
