  About us and Alonnisos    
           
 
More than 25 years ago ....
 
 
I got to know Alonnisos. I’ve been captivated by the beauty of the island. Alonnisos belongs to the marine national park “Northern Sporades” which is a unique example of ecological thinking in Greece.
 
  The sea here belongs to the cleanest waters of the Mediterranean and is a paradise for dolphins, seals and birds. For years the Greek government and several international environmental organisations are trying to protect population of the monk seal there and to sensitise the local population to a clean environment and this with great success..
 
     
 
Alonnisos – nature-paradise ....
For years one is making an effort not to endanger the population of the monk seal (monachus monachus), which is living in the northern waters; the fishers and the remaining local population are also given an understanding of the advantages of ecological thinking.
The botanical diversity is said to have already impressed Hippokrates. On the barren ground of the island, more than 6.000 different types of medicinal plants are growing, which inspire the wanderers in each season. Alonnisos is a green island with crystal clear water. This nature paradise offers luxuriant stone pine forests in which many seldom birds nest, lonely swimming bays, little havens, tiny chapels and grots.
