Chrissi Milia beach is perhaps the only sandy beach on the island. Because of that distinction, it is a very popular destination for visitors. In all my visits to Alonnisos I must admit that I’ve only been to Chrissi Milia one time because it’s just so convenient for us to spend time at beaches closer to the Old Village (e.g., Megalos Mourtias).
This beach is perhaps 7 kilometers from Patitiri and about eight kilometers from the Old Village. Because of this distance, walking there would be quite challenging for most people, so that means you’ll most likely need to either rent a motorbike or a car to get there, or take a taxi. The drive offers some very nice scenery on the way, and the road is paved and very smooth.
Chrissi Milia beach offers full services (i.e., food and drink, restrooms, beach chair and umbrella rental). We visited the Chrissi Milia Taverna in July of 2023 and thought the food and service was excellent, and that the prices were fair based on visits to other restaurants/tavernas on the island. Because of this very positive experience we will most certainly eat there again, and I highly recommend that you do so as well.
