About Alonissos
Image
Text
It’s all about the simple life among the herb-scented hills and blue-green bays of Alonissos. Pine-forest walks, pretty ports and cobbled old towns are all yours to enjoy here. Bit of a beach lover? Good, because there are too many pine-fringed bays to pass up – and the island’s part of a marine park, so keep your eyes peeled for seals. It's a big hit for diving thanks to the clear, calm waters. Look out for corals in every colour, scarlet starfish and ancient shipwrecks! As for evenings, there’s a tried and tested formula of fresh fish feasts, homegrown vino and laughing with the locals as the sun sets. Say hello to the real Greek island experience...

Clap eyes on the coast here and you’ll fall straight under its spell. Agios Dimitrios Beach is just one example, a pebbly shore lapped by aquamarine crystal-clear waters. Chrisi Milia Beach is equally mesmerising and blanketed in sand if you love nothing more than feeling grains between your toes. For the best of both, make a beeline for dreamy Kokkinokastro Beach.

Explore the island

Hands up who loves adventures? You’ve struck gold here in Alonissos. The epic natural beauty of the island lends itself to stunning hikes. One of the best is the trail up a cobbled mule path to Hora, the old capital of the island. The National Marine Park of Alonissos is prime for a day trip too – take a boat out into the sparkling sea and get ready to spot dolphins, turtles and migrating whales.

See the Sporades

Alonissos is part of the green-tinged Sporades archipelago, with two gorgeous neighbours – Skiathos and Skopelos. Island-hopping is easy here, with regular ferries and boat trips between all three. Skiathos Town’s buzzy harbourfront is ideal for drinks by the water, while Skopelos’ epic backdrop’s what made it a filming location for Mamma Mia!, so you can go recreate the scenes yourself.

Alonissos’ natural beauty is the leading lady when it comes to sights. But beyond the dreamy landscapes, take an afternoon to see Hora, the island’s former capital that was abandoned after an earthquake. There are some sweet Byzantine churches and pretty quaint villages to visit too.
