Sights on Alonissos

There are no actual attractions on Alonissos except for the beautiful scenery, the Marine National Park and the wonderful crystal clear waters. But what else do you need. There is one thing I would like to point out, however, and that is the church Agioi Anargiri, which is located about nine kilometers northwest of Patitiri.

Agioi Anargiri church is not to be missed when you are in Alonissos.

It is perhaps not the church itself that is worth the trip here - even if it is incredibly attractive - but for the place where the church stand. Alonissos offers many nice views, but nothing comes close to the view from Agia Anarghiri. The place is magical, almost unreal. You can sit here a long time and just look out over the sea.

Academi of Homeopathy.

It requires a short hike to get to Agioi Anargiri, but it is not strenuous at all. You almost drive the same way as to the beach of Megali Ammos. When you passed the school of homeopathy Academi of Homeopathy turn left, at the junction turn first right and then left. At the next junction turn left (to Megali Ammos you took right). Then drive until "the road" ends and park where you see a signpost that says "Foothpath". Follow the path down until you reach the church.

The path that leads to Agioi Anargiri.

The path goes under tall pine trees, it almost feels as if you walk indoors and the landscape is more like Sweden than Greece. On some trees there are small mugs which collects resin that is used to flavour Retsina.

Resin is collected here, which is then used to flavor retsina.

Agioi Anargiri church.

Here you can sit for a long time and philosophize about life.

On an overcast day in September, Agioi Anargiri blends into the colors of the sky.
