Peristera is an uninhabited island part of the national marine park of Alonissos. It is the ideal anchoring point for someone that wants to relax under the sun avoiding the crowded beaches of Alonissos. The Greek name of the island means “dove”. Even if the island nowadays is completely uninhabited, the many caves and the two natural ports once made the island was a flourishing port used by Saracene pirates that were responsible for the sinking of many merchant ships passing between Alonissos and Peristera.
The island can only be reached from Alonissos with a brieth navigation from the ports of Steni Vala or Agios Dimitros. There is an agency located on Patitiri beach that organize detailed trips around the natural marine reservoir and islands giving you the chance to visit Peristera.
