YIALIA & VRISITSA beaches in ALONISSOS

Two wild and identical small beaches located close to each other, at the north side of the island under the Old Village. Because of their location are usually windy and therefore not very tempting for swimming. In the windy days they are usually almost empty. However they are beautiful if the weather is calm. Then their waters become crystal clear blue. They have small dark peebles in the shore and bigger ones in the sea. No tavernas and no other facilities available.

Unfortunately there is no asphalt road to get there. Motorbikes are more preferable to use. The temperature of their sea is colder than this of the southern beaches. At Yialia there is also a very nice windmill and at its back side there is an abandoned watermill where you can see its ruins.

For Vrisitsa you need to take the road at the Alonia area just before the Old Village and after 10' you will reach the beach. The way to go there is really nice with very nice themes for photographs. When you will reach the beach note to park at the parking area before the villa as the last 50m of the road are really bad and if you are with a car you might stuck there.

Those beaches are popular within the visitors of the Old Village because of their close distance.
