  • Guida Di Alonissos
    La guida è stata scritta con la collaborazione dei soci: Claudio Paoloni, Claudia ed Enrico Petrignani, Gregorio Pedroli, Renate e Gianni, Luciana Audisio, Sergio Servadio. Guida di Alonissos Alonissos misura 62 kmq e la sua cima maggiore, il Monte Kavouli, nella parte nord occidentale, raggiunge 476 m s.l.m. E' lunga circa 20 km e la costa nord-occidentale si presenta prevalentemente rocciosa con coste che si gettano a picco nel mare. La parte sud occidentale ospita le pinete più rigogliose che scendono fino al mare. Le spiagge accessibili sono tutte racchiuse nella zona centro sud dell'isola, poi la costa si alza lasciando spazio solo a qualche cala minore. Dov'é? Raggiungere l'isola, dopo le olimpiadi del 2004, è diventato più facile. Dall'aeroporto si prende la navetta 093 che termina alla stazione dei bus del Peloponneso (Stathmoss Peloponnesu), si scende alla fermata precedente (la penultima), alla stazione dei bus per l'Attica, conosciuta come "Stathmoss Liosion", (tel. 01/8317163/153). Tempo di percorrenza circa 40 minuti. Da Liosion ogni mezz'ora circa parte un bus per AG. Kostantinos - Volos. Per gli orari dei bus consulta: http://www.enteturismoellenico.com/Come_Arrivare/trasporti/trasporti_pubblici.htm Alonissos é collegata giornalmente con Ag. Kostantinos con un traghetto e un servizio di aliscafi. Il traghetto impiega 4 ore e 30, circa 3 ore l'aliscafo. Da qualche anno l'isola non è più collegata con l'Eubea. Da Volos i collegamenti con le Sporadi sono più frequenti e migliori. I tempi di percorrenza sono identici a quelli da Ag. Kostantinos. Alonissos è collegata con Skopelos (porti di Glossa e Skopelos) e con Skiathos con almeno due corse al giorno di aliscafi e un traghetto serale.

At 14.00 hrs on this bright sunny day in May, the world’s rarest orphan was lifted out of MOm’s mobile Intensive Care Unit by his nurses and veterinarians and nudged gently into his waiting transport cage. Once the protective towel had been removed from his head, Dimitris at last had a chance to see the well-wishers lining the route to the research vessel that would carry him out into the National Marine Park of Alonissos, Northern Sporades. Putting on a brave face for his big day, he took in the strange scene with whisker-twitching curiosity, betraying few signs of anxiety. A local fisherman, a member of parliament for the region – Mrs Zeta Makri – a representative of corporate sponsor Pireus Bank – Mrs Sofia Staikou – the island’s mayor – Mr Orestis Papachristou – and the mayor of another important monk seal island – Mr. Nikos Kanakis – then lifted the transport cage and began the brief walk to MOm’s 13-meter research vessel, the ‘IFAW Odyssia’. In a highly symbolic gesture, the procession was led by the island’s priest. Dimitris in his transport cage.

  • Alonissos Island and the Northern Sporades Marine National Park As a Strategic Socio-Economic Node for the Culture of the Aegean Sea

Tel: +30 2103422500 , Mob: +30 6936 49 36 34 ABSTRACT:- The Marine National Park of Alonissos and the Northern Sporades was established1 in 1992 as the first marine park in all of Greece in order to safeguard the monk seal, from a possible extinction. The presence of this animal in the area is the most conspicuous of the whole Mediterranean Sea. Extending for about 2,200 square kilometers in a marine and terrestrial habitat, the Park is the largest protected marine area in the Mediterranean. The group of islands that surround Alonissos is the essential habitat for many marine species and birds as well as some species of reptiles and endangered mammals, such as the Mediterranean monk seal, whose presence in the area is the most conspicuous of all the Mediterranean. Alonissos is the management and economic-cultural center of the Park, as well as the only island in the protected marine area to be permanently inhabited.

  • (Greece): on the Geological Evolution of Alonnisos
    ∆ελτίο της Ελληνικής Γεωλογικής Εταιρίας τοµ. XXXVI, 2004 Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece vol. XXXVI, 2004 Πρακτικά 10ου ∆ιεθνούς Συνεδρίου, Θεσ/νίκη Απρίλιος 2004 Proceedings of the 10th International Congress, Thessaloniki, April 2004 NAPPE STRUCTURE OF THE NORTH SPORADES (GREECE): ON THE GEOLOGICAL EVOLUTION OF ALONNISOS ISLAND Jacobshagen V.1 and Matarangas D.2 1Institute of Geological Sciences, Free University of Berlin, D-12249 Berlin, Germany, [email protected] 2Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration (IGME), GR-11527 Athens, Greece, [email protected] ABSTRACT On Alonnisos island detailed field studies were carried out concerning rock sequences and their boundaries, geochemical analyses of mafic volcanic rocks, and geological mapping of key areas in the southwestern and central parts of the island to the scale 1:10 000. In connection with already published data, our results led to a revision of the tectonic structure of the island and of its geologi- cal evolution. The deeper parts of Alonnisos are built up by Mesozoic rocks of the Pelagonian zone, locally with outliers of the Eohellenic nappe on top. Both units are covered by the well-known Mesoautochthonous sequence of Upper Cretaceous/Lower Tertiary age. These units are tectoni- cally overlain by relics of the Palouki nappe, which consists of the probably Lower Cretaceous Pa- louki formation (once called “Palouki series”), followed by Upper Cretaceous marbles and by a metaflysch. This nappe was probably overthrust during the Eocebe (Mesohellenic) orogeny. Relics of the Palouki nappe can be followed from Alonnisos to Skopelos in the SW, over some small islands. As the rock association in its older parts point to a pelagic marine origin, we assume that the Palouki nappe had its origin in a relic of the Vardar ocean.

    © Lonely Planet Publications 647 Evia & the Sporades Εύβοια & Οι Σποράδες In a nation known for its magical islands, Evia and the Sporades are not exactly household names. Some would be surprised, in fact, that Evia is an island at all. Joined by a short bridge at Halkida, and separated from the mainland by a narrow gulf, it’s one of those places that seem to be hidden in full view. Only a couple of hours from Athens, Evia’s busy gateway resorts get their car loads of weekend visitors. But across the island, the pace is slower and the landscape pristine for long stretches, dotted by hill-top monasteries, small farms and vineyards, and goats staring at you in the middle of the road. Small beaches dot the west and southeast coasts, many of them with no more than one or two tavernas, and crystal-clear bays that would be lined with matching umbrellas and beach bars elsewhere. Skyros, the southernmost of the Sporades (in Greek, ‘scattered ones’), retains a good deal of local character, and its unique cuisine gets a thumbs up from locals and visitors alike. Closest to the mainland is Skiathos; once a sleepy fishing port, it now sees charter flights from northern Europe, and claims the sandiest beaches in the Aegean, along with several prime diving spots. Low-key Skopelos kicks back with a postcard-worthy harbour and its share of fine bays, beaches and forest meadows laced with old walking trails. Alonnisos, the most remote of the group, anchors the National Marine Park of Alonnisos – established to protect the Mediterranean monk seal – and is a model for ecological awareness throughout Greece.
