Alonisos The locals call it Alonisos or ‘The
Old Village’ and it’s an Aegean Sea Greek island.
Patitiri is the islands main port and you’ll find
plenty of hydrofoil, ferry and catamaran
movement here. It’s highly regarded for its
impressive villages, beautiful hill-top Aegean Sea
views and romantic, relaxing environment.
Though pretty, this island has seen its fair share
of hardship, with the 1965 earthquake damaging
much of its structures, today however, it’s a
beautiful mish-mash of old broken relics, and
the new.
The powerful beauty keeps its local and migrant
community happy. This place has a genuine feel
to it and offers delightful dining featuring fresh
local produce. If you ask the locals, they might
say that Chora is the best place to venture to for
an exquisite view. Picnics are pretty from its
hilltops, so pack a nice local lunch with olives
and enjoy the view. Dates, family fun and strolls
are all a delight from the popular areas of Steni
Vala, Patitiri and Votsi.

Skopelos is all about scooters, sleepy shady spots and sweet homes filled with delicious meals that
smell divine. Tourists come here to feel a home away from home, and there’s so much to enjoy here with
its delightful happy locals, long winding alleyways, simple restaurants and timeless whitewashed houses.
Don’t come here for the great wifi or technological services though, here it’s all about slowing down and
enjoying the sweetness of life.
This slopey, sleepy, sweet island is one of many islands which make up the Northern Sporades islands.
The irrefutable charm of Skopelos is its simplicity. A stroll on-shore looks could be a scene from a novel.
Fishmongers are often friendly and store-owners love a gossip so it’s certainly not hard to make friends!
It’s pleasant shrub-filled alleys, streets and gardens make the best setting for a sneaky afternoon siesta
