Fantasia House rental rooms/studios are conveniently located in the Old Village of Alonnisos just 20 or 30 meters from the plateia (i.e., town square) and 60 meters from the city bus stop. Fantasia is owned and operated by Panayiotis Kostas and his wife Vasso. We have known him for over 20 years and consider him to be a very good man. The picture to your right gives you a clear idea of the “look” of Fantasia House and the lush vegetation that surrounds the property.
Fantasia House’s location is perfect if you’re interested in staying in the Old Village because it’s right in the middle of everything. From there, in just a matter of five minutes or less you can walk to any cafe, restaurant or taverna, to the grocery store, or to the bus/taxi stop for traveling down to the port town of Patitiri. In addition, if you’re interested in walking longer distances there is a hiking trail to the beach at Micros Mourtias that is also only a few minutes away. And, you also can find your way down to the beach at Megalos Mourtias by foot in perhaps 30 – 35 minutes or less (depending on your age and physical condition).
All rooms include comfortable beds along with a bathroom en suite, and feature air conditioning and a television. In addition, each room has its own terrace that offers wonderful views to the east and south, including toward the uninhabited islands called the Two Brothers and the island of Evia. The photo to your left gives you an idea of what you’ll be able to gaze out at while seated on your terrace.

The peaceful port of Kalamakia is located perhaps 3 kilometers from the port of 
Kalamakia has perhaps five tavernas and also offers rental rooms for those who are interested in being far removed from the crowds in Patitiri and the Old Village. As for a recommended restaurant, during all of our visits we have eaten at “Margarita’s” (pictured to your left) because my in-laws have been going there for many years. In years past we would typically have a big group who traveled with us there on my in-laws’ traditional Greek caique. We have always found the food to be excellent, and Margarita, her husband Nikos, and the wait staff are always welcoming. Since Kalamakia is a fishing port, it’s very common to find fresh fish and crabs available at the tavernas there, but be prepared to spend quite a few Euros for the fresh fish, which is always sold at a per-kilo rate. Also, before ordering fish soup ask for the estimated price of the entire entree.

further until you reach a plateau with steps to your right (see photo to your left). From that area you will be able to take some great photos.
