Our niece lives in Alonissos and we went to visit her and her husband, who is Greek. The island of Alonissos is beautiful and not at all commercialized. I liked the food at all restaurants,it was really magnificent and fresh, tasty and beautifully delivered with great white wine. Especially our visits at the bakery were a must. The small specialty shops had wonderful gifts, too! Generally, the...

I stayed on Alonissos island about a week, this was last summer. Some friends of us who were on the island in 2007 gave us all the information we needed about it. Everything was excelent, the beaches, the food, the culture and the people who lived there. The villages were really picturesque. We are coming back next year, hopefully... We loved snorkling and swimming and I enjoyed the very clea...

My plane flew to Skiathos but I spent my holiday in Alonissos going there by boat from Skiathos. On Alonissos the villages are few, in general not very crowded and lovely. The beaches are also not so crowded, most of them have pebbles so they are especially good for snorkeling. The water is crystaline. Best Beaches: Agios Dimitrios, Chrisi Milia, and Steni Vala. The rooms clean. The nightlife i...

I went to Skiathos a few years ago. I arrived by plane to Skiathos and stay there for 2 weeks. My wife and I decided to go for an excursion in the island of Alonissos and were really impressed by the authenticity of the island. A bit too calm but yet beautiful, especialy when coming from the busy Skiathos. Hope to have the chance to discover the island better next time.

It may not have long sandy beaches like Skiathos and Skopelos and is definitely less lively at night (almost dead I must say) but I prefer this peacefulness and relaxation kind of holidays.
The port is lovely but not as interestin...
