Olive Heart of Alonnisos

There are homes that feel connected to their setting from the moment you arrive, and this 80 sqm house in the Old Village of Alonnisos is one of them. Set on a 275 sqm plot, framed by olive trees, fruit trees, stone terraces, and wide sea views, it offers the feeling of island living at its most natural: quiet mornings on the balcony, shaded afternoons in the garden, and evenings watching the light change over the Aegean. Private yet part of the village fabric, it combines the calm of nature with the warmth of a lived-in community.

Built in 1992, the property includes five rooms in total: two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open living room with a kitchen. The interiors are bright and carefully maintained, with white walls, soft blue details, tiled floors from Italgraniti, and French windows that bring in natural light. The living area includes a fireplace, while the kitchen is fully equipped, including a Siemens dishwasher.

Both bathrooms are finished to a high standard, with Grohe and Villeroy & Boch fittings, Spanish tiles, and an AEG washer/dryer combination. The home is offered fully furnished and ready to use. Practical features include double-glazed windows, wooden shutters recently painted, air conditioning, electric hot water, an infrared heater in the bathroom, internet connection, and an 8 sqm storage room.

Outdoor living is one of the strongest parts of the house. The garden and terraces are arranged on different levels, creating easy places to sit, relax, and enjoy summer under the shade of the trees. The wraparound balcony extends along approximately half of the house, with open views over the valley, surrounding hills, and passing ferries. The exterior also includes planted corners, sitting areas, an outside shower, and spaces for dining or relaxing throughout the day.

The property is enclosed with walls and a gate, offering privacy while still maintaining a natural connection to the neighbouring homes and the rhythm of village life. There is parking in front of the house, water connection to the municipality, an 11 sqm cistern, and a septic tank, with sewer connection planned for the wider Old Village.

Location

Set on a hillside, the Old Village, or Palio Chorio, is the historic heart of Alonnisos, known for its traditional lanes, walks, tavernas, and small shops, all close by. The village has a distinct seasonal rhythm: calm and residential in winter, with a small year-round community, and livelier in summer, when its lanes, restaurants, and viewpoints become part of everyday island life.

Nearby hills offer routes through greenery with beautiful viewpoints, where the sea opens up between the trees, while Megalos Mourtias beach is within easy reach for swimming and days by the water. Patitiri, the island’s port and main service hub, is conveniently accessible. Seasonal bus services connect the Old Village with Patitiri and the wider area.
