About Alonia
Alonia is a small village in the farmland south of Chora, among olive groves and fields, named after the old stone threshing floors where the islanders once beat their grain. Its stone houses, gardens and narrow lanes have changed little, and it is a peaceful place to stay, close to Chora and the port but with the slow pace of the countryside, goats grazing on the slopes and views down to the sea.
Good to know
Before you go to Alonia
Getting there
Alonia is a few minutes' drive from Chora and Kamariotissa. A car or scooter is the easiest way to get around from here.
When to go
Any time from May to October. It is a good base outside high summer, when the rest of the island is quieter too.
