The island's Mediterranean climate ensures long, hot summers and mild winters, making it an attractive destination for sun-seekers.
Roussoum Gialos Beach is one of the most popular beaches on Alonnisos.

The beach is well-organized with sunbeds and umbrellas available for rent, and there are several tavernas nearby where visitors can enjoy local delicacies. Its proximity to Patitiri makes it easily accessible for travelers looking to combine beach relaxation with some exploration of the town's amenities.

In addition to Roussoum Gialos Beach, Alonnisos offers other remarkable beaches such as Chrisi Milia, a sandy beach ideal for families due to its shallow waters; Kokkinokastro with its striking red cliffs; and Agios Dimitrios, often cited as one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece with its white pebbles and azure waters.
For those willing to venture beyond the main island, Alonnisos is surrounded by numerous smaller islands that are part of the National Marine Park of Alonnisos Northern Sporades. This marine park provides protection for rare seabirds, dolphins, and the Mediterranean monk seal Monachus monachus. Exploring these surrounding islands by boat can reveal secluded coves and untouched beaches that offer privacy in an idyllic setting.
Visiting Alonnisos during peak summer months will guarantee warm weather suitable for beach activities; however, if you prefer avoiding crowds while still enjoying good weather conditions, late spring (May) or early autumn (September to October) might be ideal times.
