The two houses, ('Blue' and 'Green' for the colour of the shutters), which are adjoining, have a very similar layout.

On the lower floor is a bedroom with a double bed, built in traditional platform style, complete with mosquito nets. This room has added character provided by the corner fireplace. Also on the lower floor is the bathroom with shower and WC.

The upper floor of the houses comprises an open plan living room-kitchen. The kitchen area has fridge, sink and electric rings, and is equipped for the preparation of simple meals. There is a dining table and chairs, and a single couch bed (another foldaway bed is also available).

From the living room, there is access to a small wooden balcony with lovely views over the trees to the sea and to Skopelos beyond.

The houses are equipped with air conditioning and TV.

Both houses have a spacious terrace in front of the house on ground level, which is shaded by a pergola with bamboo and bougainvillea.

The two studios are located in a building to the front of the houses.

Both are open-plan, and have stripped wooden floors, double beds with mosquito nets, and a kitchen area equipped with mini oven, electric hob and fridge-freezer. Both have an extra foldaway single bed.

The lower studio has a superb terrace which is really spacious, and which has wonderful unobstructed views. Shade is provided by a pergola with bamboo. The upper studio has its own balcony, again with fantastic sea views.

Both the houses and studios are extremely comfortably furnished and decorated in traditional Greek style.

Alonissos Old Town is an extremely scenic settlement, built high on the hill above Patitiri port, with a peaceful and unhurried atmosphere. There are a handful of tavernas, a couple of cafes, and a minimarket. Taxis and a bus service connect the Old Town with Patitiri where there are more tavernas and shops to be found: alternatively you can get there by foot via a mule track which meanders down through lovely countryside and takes around 30 minutes.

You can also walk to the nearest beach of Mikros Mourtias which takes around 20 minutes.

Please contact us for availability, stating the name of the accommodation.
