The Sporades/Evia region

Famous for its trees, tranquility and a coastline that Mother Nature has nibbled at over the years, the raw beauty of Alonissos has been described as a ‘magical’ island and a wonderful sanctuary for retreat

At 20km long and a local population of 1500, it is the only inhabited island in a marine preservation park where 300 of the world’s 500 endangered monk seals live under protective laws. Indeed, the clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea dominate everyday life here, with the gently paced ebb and flow of island rhythm emanating from the main port town of Patiri, up through pine wood valleys to olive groves on the hillsides beyond

It is an island of marvellous peace, privacy and seclusion. For the holidaymaker, there are literally dozens of quiet sheltered beaches and bays so empty you inevitably convince yourself that they belong to you. Even in the height of summer the place still manages to feel quiet

Evenings are low key. Nightlife comprises local bars and tavernas. There’s a rumour of a night club but nobody’s been to it. Bring your own entertainment, otherwise you can rely on a couple of cats fighting for an evening’s distraction

This is an island where both classic and contemporary meet with a knowing, nodding smile and rub along together quite happily. Transport is essential – but any mode will do. Goat bells clank a chorus refrain to the whirr of mopeds, whilst cars tend to listlessly adorn the side of the road rather than the middle of it.

The Alonissos area

The location of Alonnisos Villas is ideal for some of the best beaches on the island. Although you could walk to them, it’s advisable to drive. Most beaches are smooth stoned but the nearest to the villas – Chrisi Milia and Katerinas Vala - both have sand and are excellent for small children as they boast expansive gently sloping shallows which are great for paddling in. For more experienced swimmers, the snorkelling out in the bay is excellent.

Further afield you’ll find the sleepy ports of Steni Vala – the Fiskardo/Puerto Banus of Alonnissos (but don’t get your hopes up!) and the slightly less sophisticated but more intimate Kalamakia. Naturally both are excellent for fresh fish restaurants.

The hot spot for night life is found either in Patitiri or the Old Town, the former for the young and noisy – as young and noisy as it gets on the island – and the latter for a more sophisticated night out with plenty of tourist shopping opportunities.

Alonissos doesn’t have it’s own airport – enabling the islanders to retain much of their traditional Greek character and charm without the influence of mass tourism. So the last part of your journey to Alonissos will be by ferry.

Most people take a regular direct flight to nearby Skiathos, then it’s a 10 minute taxi ride from the airport to the ferry port where you can catch one of the numerous ferries (2 hours transfer time), Flying Dolphin or Cat hydrofoils (1.5 hours transfer time) taking you to Alonissos’ harbour town of Patitiri where you will be met by our representative.

Alternatively, you can fly to Athens and get a taxi to the port of Agios Konstantinos from which you can catch a ferry to Skopelos, change ferries and travel on to the Alonissos harbour town of Patitiri. (Total transfer time approx 3.5 hours.

“Amazing Island, Amazing Accomodation can't wait to return in 2012” Could only manage a week which went in a flash. Found plenty of wonderful little beaches and even hired a boat to make the most of the inaccessible ones. Great service from the first enquiry to the when we arrived at the Island and were personally directed to the Villas by the rep

Guestbook for Alonissos Villas

From Steve in London

My family and I have rented one of the two Villas that are available via Alonissos Villas for the past two years. I have to say that the over all experience was exceptional. Alonissos is the kind of island that leaves you feeling you have 'discovered' something truly special. It has a rustic and unspoilt quality that is extremely hard to find in an age of global tourism. The people are genuinely welcoming and hospitable, the beaches are some of the best you can have across the Mediterranean and the restaurants are wonderful, especially those around the beaches. Dining on local delicacies, overlooking the cobalt blue Mediterranean, under the shade of an Olive Tree is what we're all looking for!

The Villas are perfect for families with children or couples. There is a good amount of space inside. The bedrooms are large, the kitchen diner perfect although we tended to spend most of our time outside. The pool and areas around it are perfect throughout the day. There is a sheltered area that we use for meal times just next to the pool. The views at all times of the day are priceless.

The service from Paul via Alonissos Villas is superb. You will also have help locally from the wonderful Maria. Whether it's a pickup from the port, some 'local knowledge' or just an idea of where to get the best fish - nothing is too much trouble. It's the kind of discrete service that can genuinely be called 5 Star.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alonissos and the Villas. Go, you won't be disappointed.

From Julian Zhelyazkov in Sofia, Bulgaria
One of the best locations on the island - simply marvelous.

Easy acces to beaches, town, shops and tavernas.

Incredible local support.

A must.

From Mrs Felicity Mc Donald

Our family have returned to Alonissos every year now since 1998 and for good reason.

If you are looking for an unspoiled, unsophisticated place on earth with amazing weather, fabulous swimming, hidden beaches, family owned tavernas with superb quality food, then Alonissos is perfect. 2008 was the first time we stayed in this beautiful house and we will be returning again in 2012.

The house has breathtaking views which can be viewed from almost every window in the house, lovely internal spaces and a fabulous verandah and pool area from which you will never want to tear yourself away. In addition, the house is situated between two of the best bays on the island. Our favourite is Tzortzi Gialos whose taverna is owned by a wonderful family and serves some of the best food on the island. We feel we can judge as we have now eaten at most of the tavernas!

If you are lucky enough to come and stay in this wonderful place you will want to keep it a secret from the rest of the world. It is a magical island, an oasis, a place where, like us, you will want to return time and time again.

From Sara and Mark Wakefield from Worcester, UK
We've been to many beautiful and exotic locations in my time but you can't beat the Greek Islands for raw beauty - almost on your doorstep.

Alonnisos is truly beautiful island, as yet untainted by wholesale commercial tourism but sufficiently supported to offer a relaxed break for those in need of recharging their batteries with very little effort. And we certainly did, not least because our villa was so fantastic.

With seven of us, spanning three generations, the villa provided more than enough space to give us all our much valued privacy yet still managing to have a homely feel. Whoever designed it obviously spent a lot of time and thought in this respect and it showed.

I will never forget the image of my 78 year old father, sitting peacefully reading his book under the olive tree whilst apparently oblivious to the pandemonium of the Lilo Surfing Championships going on in the pool nearby. Nor the picture of my 20 year old stepson's face when he saw the view from his room. For someone who never usually leaves his bed until lunchtime unless he has to, it was astonishing to find him up before us every morning - simply because he couldn't get enough of it.

And when the sun went down, the place just got better. Swimming under the moon and the stars in a floodlit pool is something else! There are few words other than 'amazing'. It's so nice to find a villa with such a substantial sized pool, where all seven of us could swim without crashing into each other. (Unless we wanted to, of course.) And although there were plenty of places to eat within a stone's throw, some of my fondest memories are of our barbeques on the patio (with such a prestigious built in spotlit barbeque it seemed rude not to use it) followed by a game or two of cards, serenaded by something on the in-house music system. What more could you want?

Thank you for renting us your beautiful villa. It goes down as one of the best family holidays we've ever had and we'll definitely be back for more.

From Howland & Joy Blackistion from the USA

Privacy, glorious view, terrific accommodation and personalized service from Paul made our stay at Alonissos Villa a holiday we will remember forever!

From Malcolm & Mandy Reddick from the UK

We had a wonderful holiday in your villa in Alonissos. The villa truly exceeded all our expectations, with regard to location, facilities, proximity to excellent restaurants and beautiful weather. Obviously we appreciated all the support given by Maria - hire car, showing us round, recommending wild Greek nights etc!

We would absolutely love to stay there again! We fell in love with the old town and made many friends. My 2 sons came out and they loved the week spent there too.

With many thanks and all best wishes


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


From Peter Handscombe from the UK

We all had a great time - thoroughly enjoying not only the Villa but also the island in general. Everything worked extremely well and Maria in particular was most helpful in picking us up, arranging car hire, helping us arrange a boat trip etc etc - a pleasure to deal with. The view from the Villa is stunning - and the weather was perfect. In summary a great time had by all - many thanks.

Please keep me informed about your availability next year.
