You can get to know Alonnisos and its beauty by exploring its small settlements and villages, which blend traditional architecture with the natural landscape. The island’s main port, Patitiri, is a hub for tourists, featuring cafes, taverns, bars, and tourist shops. The village of Votsi stands out for its quiet, picturesque little harbor and its amphitheater-like layout. There are also restaurants in the village, offering a more relaxed and authentic experience. In contrast, Palia Chora is built on a hill with panoramic views. With cobblestone alleys, stone houses, and a strong traditional character, it is one of the most picturesque villages in the Sporades. The restaurants, bars, and small tourist shops blend seamlessly into the landscape. Finally, scattered smaller settlements such as Steni Vala and Kalamakia, traditional fishing villages with a strong island character, are famous for their fresh seafood right by the sea—an experience that is truly unique.
