The Area
Hibiscus sits above a lovely sandy beach about half way up Alonissos's east coast. The seafront tavernas, amenities and harbour of Steni Vala are about 10 minutes' walk away, making it eminently possible to dine out without ever taking the car. The island's main port, Patitiri, and the historic capital, Alonissos Town, are just a 20-minute drive away.
Despite its diminutive size, 14km long and 4km wide, Alonissos has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to beaches. Arguably the best ones are to be found along the east coast and on the southern tip. One such, just a 10-minute drive north of Hibiscus, is Agios Dimitrios, whose splendid white sands and intense blue waters are irresistible. The north of the island also boasts some idyllic coves and beaches but most of these are only accessible by boat: an excellent reason to rent one for your stay.
Alonissos, its surrounding waters and minor islands, including Peristera, Kyra Panagia, Gioura, Psathoura, Piperi and Skantzoura, form the Alonissos Marine Park, the largest of its kind in Europe. Established in 1992, its 2,250km2 is home to a fascinating variety of flora, fauna, marine life (including Meditteranean monk seals) and unspoilt natural beauty.
Finally, just across the water, is Alonissos's sister Sporades Island, Skopelos, which is highly recommended and easy to get to.

Boat rental on Alonissos
A holiday in the sun would not be complete without exploring the breath-taking coastline, majestic cliffs and glistening azure sea that your destination has to offer. The best way to experience this spectacle is from your very own rental boat, pottering along at a leisurely pace and occasionally stopping off to drop anchor and swim in secluded bays.

Hibiscus is a lovely villa and ideal for a quiet and peaceful holiday. It has a great internal layout, amazing outdoor spaces, lovely pool area, lovely view. We had a relaxing holiday far from the madding crowd.
Anonymous September 2024
Hibiscus was excellent - in an excellent location, beautifully presented and with lots of lovely outdoor space. We would return. I wasn't sure if using a company like The Thinking Traveller would be worth it, but it definitely was. The experience added so much to how well we enjoyed the holiday, both the quality of the villa and the excellent support from your representatives.

Ghada Razuki June 2024
Alonissos is an idyllic, unspoilt island and Hibiscus is a very comfortable villa with a perfect location on a beautiful little bay. A great holiday mainly spent swimming in the glorious, clear, peacock-coloured sea.
