8Alonissos – A Haven for Nature Lovers

Part of the Sporades, Alonissos is home to the National Marine Park, one of Europe’s largest protected marine areas.

It is a sanctuary for the endangered Mediterranean monk seal and countless seabirds. Off season, boat tours are calmer, and the island’s old town is quieter, making it perfect for nature-focused travelers. Hiking trails through pine forests and olive groves are especially beautiful in spring when the landscape is green and fragrant.
