Alonissos is the third biggest of the Sporades islands and it is about 2 nautical miles away from Skopelos.

What makes Alonissos so special, compared to the other two islands -that is Skopelos and Skiathos- is the numerous scattered skerries and deserted islets all around, the flora and fauna of which are unique. This is the area where the first National Sea Park of Greece was established, with the aim of protecting the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus – Monachus).

Alonissos is the ‘eco’-island of the Sporades, where the natural setting is really special and there are many opportunities for alternative and eco tourism activities.
