Agios Dimitrios beach in Alonissos

Agios Dimitrios is the beach which is farthest away from Patitiri. At least of the beaches that I write about. There are several beaches north of Agios Dimitrios, including Mourtista beach, Strovili beach and Blue Cave. Mourtista is the only beach of these that can be reached with your own vehicle. From Patitiri it is about 15 kilometers to Agios Dimitrios.

When approaching Agios Dimitrios by land one will almost rub one's eyes. Is it an optical illusion one thinks? Is there really so nice beaches on Alonissos? The answer to both questions is no. Agios Dimitrios is spectacularly beautiful from above, but one will be a little disappointed when one arrive at the beach. The island opposite the beach is called Peristera and belongs to the marine national park.

From a distance the beach looks like Thailand but it is just one of many pebbly beaches on Alonissos. But that does not mean that the beach is a bad beach, for it is certainly not. If you like pebbles you will love Agios Dimitrios, and the sea is absolutely fantastic.

The beach stretch around both sides of a narrow point, the part of this side is best, the pebbles on the opposite side is a little too big and it's quite difficult to get into the water. The nearest part of the beach consists of smaller pebbles and some sand.

The wonderful water that surrounds Agios Dimitrios beach.

At the beach there is a taverna and a canteen. Sunbeds and parasols are available for hire during mid- and high season, and are needed as there is little shade. In recent years, Agios Dimitrios has developed more and in the summer there is even a playground in the water.

Agios Dimitrios beach in low season means no sunbeds.
