Greece boasts hundreds of islands, and some of them are far better known to British tourists than others.
Every year, tens of thousands of people head to destinations including Crete, Corfu, Kos and Rhodes – to the point it can sometimes feel like visitors outnumber the locals.
However, this is not the case for every island, and there are still parts of the country that are quiet and see much lower levels of tourism.
Alonnisos, dubbed by Lonely Planet as the “wildest” island in Greece, sits in the Aegean Sea and is part of the Sporades group of islands.
The tiny island is home to around 3,100 people, with many working in fishing, agriculture and tourism.
Among the things that bring people to the island are its opportunities for swimming and other activities in the water around the island – which is considered to be some of the cleanest in the Mediterranean.
It is also possible to take a boat trip up to some areas of the National Marine Park, which is home to a range of wildlife including the critically endangered Mediterranean monk seal.
There are also a number of pebbly beaches around the island which offer the chance for a quiet stroll, far from the crowds seen on some Greek beaches.
For those who prefer to stay on land, there are plenty of walking options on the tiny island, with destinations including tiny remote churches and treks through pine forests and olive groves, with some panoramic views of the island and the surrounding sea.
Alonnisos has no airport, so for most people their first destination – and likely base for their stay on the island – is the main port Patitiri – which has ferries to the Greek mainland and nearby islands.
Badly damaged in a 1965 earthquake, the town is now home to more than 1,300 people and boasts a picturesque harbour and restaurants and tavernas offering a range of seafood and other delicacies.
Patitiri offers visitors the chance to relax and watch the boats come in and out of the harbour, while it also boasts a nearby beach.
Elsewhere on the island, visitors can visit the ‘old village’ of Chora, a winding old town and former capital of the island that is home to a medieval castle.
