Known for its stunning natural beauty and clear blue waters, Marpunta offers the perfect holiday recipe of relaxation and adventure, making it a must-visit destination on this less-travelled Greek island.

These beaches are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and sunbathing, providing a secluded and relaxing environment away from the crowds. Hikers will love the well-signposted web of walking trails and there are boat trips to explore the marine park surrounding the island – keep your eyes peeled for the Mediterranean monk seal and even the occasional dolphin.

The welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal spot to enjoy a meal while soaking in the stunning sea views. Marpunta serves as an excellent base for exploring the rest of Alonissos.
