Alonissos is the most tranquil of the Sporades islands, known for its unspoiled nature and crystal-clear waters. It is home to Greece’s first marine park, a sanctuary for the endangered Mediterranean monk seal. The island’s main town, Chora, is a beautifully preserved hilltop village with panoramic sea views, while Patitiri, the port, offers a relaxed atmosphere with tavernas and cafes. Alonissos is a paradise for divers and hikers, with excellent underwater sites and scenic coastal trails.
