Alonnisos – Top yacht charter destination
Because the main, pebbled beaches of
Kokinokastro, Leftos Gialosa and Agios Dimitrios can become busy,
being aboard a yacht will spare you the hassle of finding a spot. As
you recline on deck, or dive into the turquoise waters, you’ll be
the envy of all the landlubbers. The ports of Patitiri and Steni
Vala, in the south, offer spectacular scenery and clean, modern
amenities.
Alonnisos – Things to Do
Alonnisos falls within a national
marine park, one of only two in Greece and the largest marine
protected area in Europe. Needless to say, the aquatic life here is
spectacular and diving and snorkelling is the best way to experience
it. Glyfa, with its quiet beach and crystal-clear water is an idyllic
snorkelling spot. You may even spot a rare Mediterranean monk seal.
For more land-based activity, wander along one of the island’s 14
official walking trails and breathe in the scent of pine, oleander
and oregano. Fancy a bit of pampering? Head to Amani Spa in Pagiri,
where a range of luxurious, organic treatments are offered in an
African safari tent perched high among olive trees overlooking the
sea.
Alonnisos – the Gourmet Experience
Seafood,
traditional Greek cuisine and contemporary Mediterranean fare is on
offer across the island. Harbour-side Ostria has some of the best sea
views, best meals and best prices. You can’t go wrong with their
grilled octopus, seabreem stuffed with herbs and ouzo or their beef
with chestnuts. Tucked away in an alley in old-town Chora, Taverna
Astrofegia serves a mix of traditional Greek food and international
cuisine such as tabbouleh and shrimp mille-feuille.
Alonnisos – Nightlife
There
are a few bars and lounges in Patitiri and Alonnisos
town,
the island’s two largest villages. Hayiati bar in the old town
often has live music and the open-air terrace is a fabulous place for
a romantic cocktail or two, with views of the sea. Drunk
Seal Cocktail Bar, right near the port in Patitiri, is a vibey spot
that might get you dancing.
