Hiking Alonnisos

This page is extra infomation about the book Alonnisos on Foot.

Scroll down to see which footpaths have problems.

At the very bottom you can see photos of many of the tours. I have divided the island in to 4 sections so you have an idea about where the photos are from.

The guided hikes have stopped for season 2022. Thanks to all of you who participated. Maybe see you again next summer.

It will be announced here when we start up again.

  • The tours demand a basic level of fitness and you have to declare that you have no health problems.

Your local guide, Jason Tsoukanas

Your local guide, Jason Tsoukanas, 21 years old, was born and raised on Alonnisos. As a teenager he was trained in Kick-boxing and participated in national and international games.

In June 2022 he finished his National services in the Army Special Forces. He has a certificate TCCC (tactical combat casualty care) in first aid from Meducation.

Jason is studying Ancient Greek at the University of Athens. He is passionately interested in archaeology and he knows the newer, older and ancient history of Alonnisos and the rest of Greece.

He has hiked around Alonnisos from childhood with his parents (Bente Keller and Elias Tsoukanas) and later on his own & with friends. He is therefore very familiar with the footpaths and topology of the island. He is ready to share his knowledge of the island & the hidden treasures of Alonnisos with you.

Jason speaks English, Greek and Danish.

The footpaths in connection with the book, Alonnisos on Foot

We always have a problem with overgrown paths in places.

At this moment 28/8-22 the following paths have some troubles.

The path you use to reach Mega Nero coming down from the Old Village is not cleared. I suggest you skip it and continue along the earth road until it joins the asphalt road. Turn left here and you are on the route that leaves Mega Nero.

The path between Megalo Horafi and Ag. Konstantinos is well-marked but need to be cleared here and there. But its only some metres in different places with branches from bushes covering the path. The same counts for the paths from Megalo Horafi towards Agalou Lakka and Megali Ammos.

You can buy the revised 4th edition of Alonnisos on Foot in different shops in Patitiri and Steni Vala and in Gallery 5 and in the Supermarket in the Old Village.

If you want us to ship the book to you please click on the below link. In case you have the old book you can download updates here below.

If you click on the items below you can see photos of the routes presented in the book Alonnisos on Foot.

I divided the island into four sections for you to have a clearer picture of the different landscapes.
