greek islands of Alonissos, Skiathos and Skopelos

Alonissos roads

There are now about 45km of paved roads on Alonissos providing decent road or track access to most of the island's beaches. A main road threads through the middle of the island linking Patitiri, Votsi and Gerakas. A crossroads at Tsolia Lakka, in the middle of the island, connects Agios Petros, Steni Vala, Glyfa, Kalamakia, Bambakies and Agios Dimitrios. There are tracks off both these roads leading to other beaches. In the north there is a forest dirt track off the main road at Kourti Lakka (about 1km north of Votsi) that passes through Agios Anargiri, Turkoneri, Megali Ammos and ends at Agallou Lakka.

Boat Excursions

The sea is the focal point for many activities on Alonissos and many people keep boats. You can also hire boats and take boat trips. You can take boat trips to explore the uninhabited islands. You can also visit beaches and coves that are inaccessible by land. These trips can be combined with snorkelling trips and walking tours over the islands. There are many boat trips from Alonissos to the nearby islands of Skiathos, Skopelos and Skyros, and of course the adjacent island of Peristera. Head to Skyros town for the Archeological Museum and the remains of the ancient acropolis.
