Alonissos Vamvakies beach

General information

The small beach of Vamvakies is located on the eastern shore of Alonissos, about 4 km north of the settlement of Steni Vala. Vamvakies presents a narrow coast covered with small white and gray pebbles that descend into crystal blue waters. Surrounded by beautiful pine trees, the beach is characterized by a wonderful feeling of isolation, ideal for those seeking moments of total relaxation.

Because of its secluded nature, Vamvakies remains largely undiscovered by mass tourism and in turn, lacks facilities such as sunbeds and umbrellas. Visitors are therefore encouraged to bring umbrellas and towels to lie on, as well as any other necessities such as food and water. Accommodations can be found near the beach, including villas and cottages. After a refreshing swim, visitors can venture out to the villages of Kalamakia and Steni Vala to enjoy lovely Mediterranean dishes in traditional seaside taverns.

Vamvakies is easily reachable from Patitiri by car within a 22-minute drive. The beach is accessible directly from the road, with a staircase leading to its pebbly shore. There is also a small pier next to the beach, which allows those who arrive by boat to moor.
