Konstantina Studios (see photo on the right) rents top quality studios in the Old Village of Alonnisos. It is located just five minutes by foot from the main square (or plateia in Greek) of the village. This is an ideal spot because it’s conveniently close to the shops and restaurants in the Old Village, but just far enough down the hill to avoid the noisiness of the often very busy plateia area.
Konstantina Studios consists of eight studios and one apartment (accommodating 2 – 4 people). All are traditionally furnished, clean, and include fully equipped kitchens, private marble bathrooms, air-conditioning and television. The rooms also 
feature their own personal balconies with tremendous views of the Aegean Sea (see photo on the left) and the rolling hillsides surrounding the Old Village. An exquisite garden featuring a wide assortment of beautiful flowers includes a shady sitting area for relaxing and enjoying the ambiance of Alonnisos. A traditional oven and barbecue area is also available to guests.
Konstantina Studios is owned and operated by Dina Vlaikou, with assistance from her husband Dimitris and other family members. She speaks fluent English and is a lovely person who really cares about her customers, as witnessed by the fact that she personally picks up all guests when they arrive for their stay at the main port in Patitiri.

During a visit to Alonnisos be sure to check out a store called GEKO. It is located near the waterfront in the main port of Patitiri, and offers a truly unique selection of top quality jewelry and accessories, including some very beautiful scarves.
During our trip to Alonnisos in 2010 we were introduced to an Italian restaurant called Thendro Limano (pictured to your right) that features truly gourmet cuisine. It was our great pleasure to dine there two times during our three week stay, and I must say the food was simply wonderful in every respect. It is located just above the harbor in the small port town of Votsi, which is roughly two and half miles from the main port of Patitiri, and perhaps three and half miles from the Old Village of Alonnisos. As such, if you’re staying in those areas and don’t have a rental car or motorbike, you’ll need to take a taxi.
In addition to high quality and appetizing foods, the owner, Jorgos (pictured to your left), also offers a broad selection of beverages, including fine wines and some excellent craft beers that are ideal for anyone who likes micro-brewed beers. I personally found these beers to be a nice break from the “Amstel, Heineken and Mythos” brands offered by virtually all of the traditional Greek tavernas and estiatorios.
Elite Tours in Athens is an excellent resource for tourists visiting Athens. The owner, Spiros Halkides is a wonderful man and he leads of team of excellent drivers are very experienced at showing people around the historical sites in Athens. Elite Tours also offers guided tours of Delphi and the Peloponnese region.
A while back a friend in Athens recommended a website called Matt Barrett’s Greece Travel Guide as an excellent information resource for travel throughout all of Greece. Mr. Barrett’s site does indeed have a wealth of information about Greek travel and, as such, I highly recommend it.
If you’re interested in an affordable place to stay in Patitiri, but don’t want to be in the center of town with all its noise and activity, I recommend you consider Villa Dawn rental rooms (see photo to your right) owned and operated by Dawn Kiriannaki. We have known Dawn for over 20 years and she is a very nice woman. Dawn is originally from the U.K. but has lived on the island for decades.
Located on a hillside perhaps 10 minutes by foot from the harbor, the rooms at Villa Dawn provide a nice view toward the uninhabited islands called the Two Brothers and of the port of Patitiri itself. All rooms include comfortable beds along with a bathroom en suite, and feature a refrigerator and an electric kettle for heating water for tea or other hot beverages. The photo to your left gives you an idea of the type of view you’ll be able to see while seated on your terrace.
islands known as the Two Brothers (see photo to your left) and to the south toward the island of Evia. From these residences it will take you perhaps five minutes to walk to the bus stop in the Old Village (it’s just two blocks up the road) and roughly a similar amount of time to reach the entrance of the donkey path that leads down to the port town of Patitiri. You also can walk to the beach at Megalos Mourtias in 20 – 25 minutes, but the walk back up can be quite physically challenging.
