General: Best thing is explore nature

It must be about a year since I came from Alonissos. I spend there a whole month working for a voluntary project. Alonissos is located in Sporades and stands out for the exquisite green landscapes and the pristine beaches. We lived in a small pansion in Patitiri, which is actually the liveliest of all villages. Chora is nice too but far from beaches. Nice for the views though. With a tour boat,...

General: Fantastic intense blue

It must be six months since I came from Alonissos. It is a small island in Sporades and like the other islands of Sporades, it is ideal for quiet and relaxing vacations. The green landscapes and the maiden beaches are the main characteristics of the island as well as the rough hills and the numerous caves where the sea dogs find shelter. It is an island that distinguishes for the natural beauty...

General: Such a delightful place

A delightful island, so inlike the busy Greek islands with the non-stopping ferries, the busy ports and the full hotels. A 3-hours ferry ride from Agios Constantin to Alonissos, which is not only short but also gives a view of Skiathos and Skopelos. From the first moment, you have the feeling that some relaxing days are waiting you. As the ferry approaches the port you see a nice green island w...

General: Picturesque villages

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:41 GMT

Alonissos is an ideal holiday place, dressed in blue and green colors. My favorite and most peaceful village we visited was Votsi. Votsi is a small harbor, fishing village, overlooking the green crystal water. The harbor is surrounded, almost hugged from gray-yellow cliffs. Many Greek restaurants can be found over the port of Alonissos, totally seven, if I can remember correctly. There are small boats that tak...

General: Clean beaches and calm air

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:42 GMT

After the noise of Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos were a refresh for us. Especially Alonissos, this small green island with the wonderful beaches and the calm air. We spent only four days there but we enjoyed it the most from the other two islands: the good food, the green nature, the hiking paths from Patitiri to...

General: A calm island traffic free

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:42 GMT

Beaches are great on Alonissos. Big trees were reaching the sea. The water is clear, very peaceful and clean areas. Not much of nightlife, though. There were small coffee shops, taverns, pizzas and only one club at the center of Alonissos. We didn't see any monuments, but there are many paths to walk, a nice experience! Not much I have to say about the food, the island is small and even tho...

General: Put love and enjoy

The beaches on Alonissos are wonderfull, poor of tourists and rich of nature. Sometimes, we found some little garbages by Greek tourists but not enough to not enjoy the landscape. The sea is the Sea, cold but wonderful, the best I have ever swam. No nightlife, no historical monuments, only nature and peace. There are not good vegetables in the markets, but a good fish. In a general way, you...

Beaches: Calm even in high season

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:42 GMT

Glyfa is a really beautiful and picturesque beach. It is not very long, but it usually doesn't get very crowded, even in high season. The shoreline is pebbled, which I prefer because sand doesn't stick on you. The water in Glyfa is perfect, warm and clean. Do not rely on public buses to go, because their itinerary is not very prompt. Prefer to rent a scooter and make the tour of the island. Gly...

Beaches: Great and clean Lakes

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:42 GMT

I have been going to Alonissos every summer for the last four years. It is a great island to spend some relaxing time with no big crowds around you. I think ther best beach on Alonissos is Lakes. As it rarely gets overcrowded, it is ideal for a good day in the sun. The windmill in front of the bay is the trademark of Lakes. You will love the clean water and the pebbles on the coast. You can eas...

Beaches: Sandy and safe for the kids

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:42 GMT

The beach of Chrisi Milia is just lovely. Extremely clean water and great for snorkelling. It was also very safe for my kids because the seafloor was too sandy and their feet didn't get hurt from the rocks, as in other beaches of Alonissos. Chrisi Milia had some sun beds, but you have to go early to catch one, because the visitors of the nearby hotels were many. For me, it was the best beach of...

General: Magnificent food and accommodation

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:42 GMT

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...

General: Eveything was excellent

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:42 GMT

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...

General: Perfect island to enjoy nature

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:42 GMT

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...

Walked to Old Village then walk to beach what a walk. Also must mention George our taxi driver best on island not just a good driver bu...
