4Alonissos – The Eco Paradise of the Sporades

In the northern Aegean, Alonissos is a haven of green forests, clear waters, and sustainable living. The island is part of the National Marine Park of Alonissos and Northern Sporades, Europe’s largest marine protected area and home to the endangered monk seal. 

Its beaches, like Agios Dimitrios and Kokkinokastro, are calm and translucent, perfect for snorkeling or quiet swims. The hilltop Old Town (Chora), with its stone houses and sea views, is one of the most picturesque in Greece. Alonissos is ideal for travelers seeking nature, peace, and understated sophistication.
