Give the island's long eastern beach a full day, arriving with everything needed and a conservative weather plan
Alonitsi's scale and isolation distinguish it from the village shore. The broad bay opens onto a sparse landscape with offshore islets, giving strong swimming appeal on a settled day and little protection when wind turns against it.
Confirm the track or boat arrangement locally and never rely on a casual pickup promise. Bring water, shade, food and a charged phone, and supervise children closely. Offshore islets and cliffs can support wildlife; keep distance, make no fires and carry all waste away.
