One of the most unspoilt destinations in Greece, Alonissos holidays offer a tranquil and relaxed environment amidst a verdant landscape. Lying next to the bustling island of Skiathos, Alonissos has been awarded “Eco Island” status to preserve its natural ecosystem and breath-taking landscape. A Marine National Park protects the island’s underwater environment for endangered species. With a vast array of secluded beaches and rocky coves along its rugged coastline, Alonissos is ideal for anyone looking to explore off Greece’s beaten track. A handful of picturesque resorts offer laid-back beach cafés and harbour-side tavernas, with delicious menus of local dishes and wines to choose from. Patatiri is the island’s star attraction where traditional houses, charming shops and artists’ studios line flower-decked lanes.
