Patitiri holidays

Holidays to Patitiri serve up peace and quiet, with a healthy dose of sweeping sea views and some outdoorsy activities.

Calm capital

Patitiri’s the island’s capital, but if you’re expecting similar scenes to buzzy Athens, Zante Town and Chora, think again. This charming town’s set in a diamond-clear bay, on the slopes of the pine-blanketed hills in the south of Alonissos. Wander along its etch-a-sketch streets and you’ll spot sugar cube houses with flower-clad balconies, which add to the small-town vibe. The pocket-sized beach is the jewel in Patitiri’s crown – it’s a pebbly number and shelves into jade-green water.
