Alonissos Island
Alonissos Greece is the northern island of the Sporades Islands group. It is located east of Skopelos. It is an authentic Greek island mostly known for its incredible natural beauty and its amazing beaches. The waters of the Greek island are considered as the cleanest in the Aegean Sea and have been declared a marine park because they are a breeding ground for the rare species of monk seal, the Monachus Monachus.
Alonissos Overview, Official Video
Here's a great overview of Alonnissos island in the Sporades, arguably the most eco-friendly island in Greece, thanks to the extensive marine park around the island and its neighbors. The video is in English, courtesy of the Municipality of Alonissos.
ALONISSOS MARPUNTA - GREECE
Alonissos, Alonisos or Alonnisos (Greek: Αλόννησος) is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. After Skiathos and Skopelos it is the third member of the Northern Sporades. It is 3 km (2 nm) E of the island of Skopelos. Alonissos is also the name of a village on the island, as well as the municipality that encompasses the island and the village.
The village of Alonissos is located on the southern part of the island. It is locally known as Chora. The main port of the island is located in the southeast and is called Patitiri. There is ferry and hydrofoil service from Patitiri to Volos, Agios Konstantinos, and Thessaloniki on the mainland and to the islands of Skiathos, Skopelos and Skyros. The bay at the southern end of the island is also called Alonissos.
Agriculture is widespread on Alonissos, predominantly mixed farming and vineyards. The main products are almonds, grapes, figs and olives. Spruce trees are abundant on the island. While fishing is a popular profession on the island, tourism is now the main industry.
Housing traditionally consists of closely constructed houses with stone walls, which, until 1965, were centered around the capital. A small fortress protected against enemies and pirates. The island and the village were heavily damaged in the 1965 earthquake. Many inhabitants returned not to the village of Alonissos, but to Patitiri. The old village has been restored in recent years, with rebuilt houses now utilised for tourism.
The beaches around the island consist of pebbles. The ecosystem in the north side of the island is in good condition. The Mediterranean Monk Seal (Monachus-Monachus) is common around the island, and in 1992 the Alonissos Marine Park was created to protect these seals and other animals.
------------
Alonissos è un'isola della Grecia, insieme a Skiathos, Skopelos e Skyros fa parte dell'arcipelago delle Sporadi Settentrionali. Ha una superficie di 65 km² e poco più di 1600 abitanti e fa parte della prefettura della Magnesia (Capoluogo Volos). È abitata quasi solamente nella parte meridionale, dove esiste anche una modesta rete stradale. È in questa zona che si trova Patitiri, porto e capoluogo dell'isola. Da qui partono numerosi servizi che collegano Alonissos con le vicine isole e la terraferma.
A sette minuti di auto da Patitiri, il villaggio di Rousoum possiede forse la spiaggia più bella e certo la più popolare dell'isola. Qui ci sono diversi locali notturni e case da affittare. Proseguendo lungo la costa, ecco il villaggio di Votsi, molto tranquillo di giorno e di notte: si ammirano le caratteristiche casette candide con vista mare, arroccate sulle scogliere giallo ocra.
L'antico villaggio di Alonissos, ex capoluogo abbandonato dopo il terremoto del 1965, sorge sulle colline a circa 3km da Patitiri verso l'interno. Steni Vala, piccolo porto di pescatori è a 12km a nord di Patitiri.
Alonissos si trova all'interno del National Marine Park of Alonissos - Northen Sporades (NMPA-NS). Primo parco naturale di tutta la Grecia, è stato istituito nel 1992. Esso comprende, oltre ad Alonissos, altre 6 isole (Peristera, Skantzoura, Kira Panaghia, Ghioura, Psathoura, Piperi) e 22 isolotti disabitati. L'area è divisa in una zona di protezione (zona A), che misura 1597 km², e un'aera protetta (zona B), di 678 km². Skantzoura, Kira Panaghia, Ghioura, Psathoura e Piperi rientrano nella prima, dove è consentito nuotare, osservare i fondali, fotografare e filmare, ma non pescare né tanto meno cacciare. Alonissos, con Peristera, fa invece parte della seconda zona: qui le restrizioni riguardano il campeggio libero e l'accensione dei fuochi. Non è raro incontrare le tipiche capre selvatiche. Si contano 80 specie di uccelli e 300 di pesci. La roccia che si tuffa ripida nell'acqua, con le sue grotte scavate nel mare, offre alla foca monaca il suo habitat ideale. Il clima è mediterraneo con inverni umidi ed estati secche.
