Megalos Mourtias Beach Alonissos

Megalos Mourtias Beach is situated on the southern coast of Alonissos near the old traditional capital of Chora. The area is characterized by a lush landscape of dense olive groves and ancient pine trees that descend almost to the water edge creating a sheltered and verdant environment that feels disconnected from the more arid parts of the island. The beach features several traditional stone built tavernas right by the shore providing a convenient blend of natural beauty and local hospitality where visitors can dine under the shade of the trees. Because of its southern orientation and the surrounding high hills it is a favored spot for those seeking a peaceful atmosphere that remains protected from the strong northern meltemi winds. The coastal scenery is marked by its tranquil and green backdrop making it a popular choice for both families and those staying in the nearby village of Chora.
