Getting around
Alonissos is the most remote of the islands of the Northern Sporades, and one of the few remaining un-spoilt Greek islands. It is home to the first National Marine Park in Greece, where you can find rare species of sea birds, dolphins and the friendly Mediterranean monk seal. According to the myth, Stafylos (meaning “grape”), son of Dionysus and Ariadne, lived in Alonissos, and the island has forever been famous for producing excellent wines. Transparent seas, ravishing beaches, sublime food and charming towns make this island a truly unforgettable holiday escape.
