Chrisi Milia has golden sand, shallow clear water and organised summer service, unusual on an island better known for pebble coves.
Our take
Alonnisos's gentlest sandy family beach
Chrisi Milia occupies a protected east-coast bay and is one of Alonnisos's rare predominantly sandy beaches. The gradual entry and organised facilities make it the island's most straightforward family choice, while pines and scrub cover the surrounding slopes.
Water sports and diving trips add traffic in high season. Stay within buoyed swimming areas and ask about launch lanes. Parking sits above the beach and the approach includes a slope, so accessible arrangements should be confirmed.
