“Alonissos looks like a tongue of land “hidden” in the shadow of Skopelos which, for 30 minutes by boat, plays in the traveler’s eyes like a summer starlet” wrote a journalist from “Le Figaro” who visited the island
Extensive impressive tribute to Alonissos published by the French “Le Figaro” extolling the destination’s underwater wealth and natural marine park.
Speaking about her first impression, the journalist who visited the island at the invitation of the municipality, says that “Alonissos looks like a tongue of land “hidden” in the shadow of Skopelos which for 30 minutes by boat, she plays to the traveler’s eyes like a summer starlet».
The tribute makes extensive reference to Alonissos, which together with its uninhabited satellite islands make up a unique marine ecosystem in the Aegean with hundreds of species of fish, birds, reptiles and mammals living harmoniously in a hexagonal perimeter of 2,200 km2.
Peristera is referred to as the obligatory passage of an ancient sea route, where ships from antiquity or the medieval Byzantine period lie on the seabed.
In addition, Giura is reminiscent of the mythical land of the terrible Cyclops, Psathoura displays an amazing contrast of rock and white sand, Kyra Panagia is a mountain mass that “hides” a Byzantine monastery and the marble rocks of Skandzoura, full of cedars, are the favorite habitat seagulls and hawks.
The article then explains how divers can explore the oldest merchant ship that ran aground in the 5th century BC near Peristera at a depth of almost 30 meters, still loaded with more than 3,000 amphorae.
In addition, in a traditional Chora house, one can live a futuristic and immersive experience underwater journeys into the past through augmented reality.
In addition to diving and heavenly beaches, the tribute highlights the wonderful picturesque settlements, the beautiful fishing villages, the unbeatable local cuisine, the hiking trails in nature, but also the festival of traditional dances that gives a different color to the island, “living” alleys, squares and ports, until dawn!
“Alonissos is developing into an international destination for activities, relaxation and rejuvenation. The dynamics of the destination is strengthened with new projects, services and original thematic tourist “products” that we develop every year with respect to the financial capabilities of Greek and foreign visitors who want quality, relaxation and fun in their holidays”, said the mayor of Alonissos Petros Vafinis.
