Leftos Gialos beach in Alonissos

Leftos Gialos lies extremely beautiful about 7 kilometres from Patitiri. The beach consists of smaller and bigger pebbles.

Leftos Gialos is one of my favourite beaches in Alonissos.

At the far right of the beach is one of the smallest churches I have seen.

Leftos Gialos is one of my favourite beaches on Alonissos, partly because the surroundings are so beautiful, partly because the water is just wonderful, partly because here is a very good taverna, one of the best on the whole island. The taverna is called Eleonas and I recommended it highly. Their specialty is pie. May sound strange, but so it is.

Don't miss eating cheese pie at Taverna Eleonas.

One of several different types of Alonisso pie.

If you have been to Skopelos you may have eaten pie from Skopelos, it is yummy, but the pie from Alonissos is even better, and it's the pie from Alonissos that is the original, it was spread from Alonissos to Skopelos for many years ago. Taverna Eleonas has eight different pies to choose from, I have tasted three of them, and all were superb.

Many beautiful roses grow in Taverna Eleona's garden.

Excursion boats from Skiathos and Skopelos often stop at Leftos Gialos beach.
