At Patitiri, the island’s port, we arrived and immediately felt the tranquility of the place. It was our first stop, and as soon as we disembarked, we wandered through the picturesque streets, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and the traditional houses with colorful windows and blooming balconies. We then made our way to Old Alonissos, a traditional village built on a hill, where the view of the Aegean was simply breathtaking. The village, with its narrow alleys and stone houses, retains its traditional charm, offering a serene walk away from the tourist crowds. The area, with its stunning view of the blue sea and the sense of history in the air, gifted us with a unique feeling of peace and calm.
Our second stop was at Votsi Cave, one of the most stunning locations on Alonissos. Upon arriving, we were struck by the pure natural beauty and tranquility of the area. The cave, with its large rocks and crystal-clear waters surrounding it, creates a unique scene. The area is secluded and peaceful, offering visitors a sense of nature in its purest form. We explored the area and enjoyed the breathtaking view without needing to swim, focusing on the serenity and natural beauty of the landscape.
Our third stop was at Lefto Gyalo, a beautiful beach on Alonissos, where we enjoyed the crystal-clear waters and the natural beauty of the landscape. The calm shores and turquoise waters invited us for a refreshing swim. We swam and felt complete relaxation and a deep connection with nature. The beach was quiet and perfect for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy the tranquility of the island.
Next, we visited KokkinoKastro, a beach with impressive red-colored rocks, which was our fourth stop.
We continued towards Steni Vala, a picturesque fishing village, where we enjoyed local delicacies at a seaside taverna. After the meal, we took another swim at Yalia Beach, a beautiful, quiet shore with crystal-clear waters.
During the trip, we made a few quick dives into different beaches, hopping on and off the boat. These moments were full of adrenaline and pure relaxation as we swam in quiet and secluded areas of the island, enjoying the crystal-clear waters and the surrounding natural beauty.
The return to Skopelos was equally exciting as we made stops at Agios Georgios and Peristera, where we enjoyed the landscape and the deep blue waters. Passing through the Alonissos Marine Park, we were fortunate to encounter dolphins, a unique sight that perfectly concluded our excursion.
