Alonissos is a beautiful island located in the eastern part of the Sporades Islands.
The country is the most beautiful, traditional and the oldest settlement on the island. The port of Patitiri is the main port and was built after the devastating earthquake of 1965 when the residents settled down in Patitiri. So now Patitiri is the largest settlement as it offers many restaurants, clubs, bars and generally nice and lively nightlife.
Other villages are: Votsi, Rousoum Gialos, Steni vala, Kalamakia, Old village or Town that was built up at the top of the mountain to protect the old inhabitants from the pirates.
The Alonissos is also contaned from other islands such as Kyra Panagia, Gioura, Skantzoura, Pipperi, Peristera and Dio Aderfia.
The length of the island is 22 miles. The National Marine Park of Alonnisos Northern Sporades was the first designated Marine Park in the country and is currently the largest marine protected area in Europe (approximately 2.260 Km2 ).
HISTORY
The history of the island of the Northern Sporades starts from the Stone Age 100,000 years ago, where there are findings of the time. At that time the islands were joined to the peninsula of Pelion. The excavations at Kokkinokastro brought to light fossilized bones from the Mesolithic era.
Signs from the first habitation in the Stone Age are in the Gulf of St. Peter Island Kyra Panagia. The first inhabitants were the tribe of Dolopes.
During the classical era, there have been sign deals in Delphi. The year 478 BC the island was conquered by the rival camp, the Spartans and a few years later it was conquered again by the Athenians. During the consolidation of all city-states of ancient Greece, the islands were under the influence of Philip Makedona.
In the third century, the inhabitants have accepted Christianity as we can see from the many churches and monasteries dating back to that era. Monasteries are also on many islands around Alonissos such as Kyra Panagia, Pepper, Skantzoura.
