It’s easy to choose Alonissos for your next getaway, thanks to its clear turquoise waters and charming nature, but all the island’s resorts offer something different. It’s a case of finding what’s best for you!
Whether you’re looking for a holiday spent by the beach, you want a tucked-away retreat or you love to be in the middle of nature, you’ll find the right retreat here. One thing is for sure, this place is pure bliss… Now, where to go in Alonissos?
Patitiri
Stay in the heart of Alonissos. You can make a trip to the charming harbour, try some homegrown wine and enjoy a few hours on the pebbly shore before breaking off for local Greek cuisine. Yum!
Marpunta
Nestled on the south coast, this relaxing resort guarantees peace and quiet among enchanting pine forests. It’s a stone’s throw away from Patitiri, so it’s a great base for exploring the southern part of the isle.
Alonissos Town
This beauty boasts stunning views from its hilltop location, also known as Hora or the Old Village. It’s primed for chilling out while you’re surrounded by verdant nature. The bougainvillea and colourful balconies are lovely – you’ll want your camera for this one.
Steni Vala
If you’re searching for that all-rounder of a beach holiday, Steni Vala might be the paradise you’re looking for. There are plenty of tavernas to dive into moussaka or souvlaki – so prepare for a party in your mouth! Having a dip in the aquamarine sea is a must too.
Votsi
Votsi is a quaint fishing village that sweeps into a natural bay, so it’s the epitome of serenity. The little fishing boats and cosy eateries lining the port capture the essence of Greek romance, but this gem is relished by everyone.
Milia
In this resort, you’ll find a shingle beach made up of tiny colourful stones. The adorable bay is a great spot to unwind with shallow waters and rocky outcrops in a blanket of foliage. Gazing out to these views on a lazy day is unbeatable.
