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.
