Tzortzi Gialos beach, Beach in Alonnisos, Greece.
Located on the eastern coast of Alonnisos island, Tzortzi Gialos stretches for 2 kilometers with a mixture of sand and pebbles along its shoreline.
The beach is part of Alonnisos, an island with deep maritime roots that developed through centuries of fishing and shipbuilding traditions.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices near Tzortzi Gialos, bringing fresh catches to nearby taverns that serve Mediterranean specialties.
Visitors should bring essential supplies such as water, snacks, and sun protection as the beach offers limited facilities and services.
The beach sits within a deep bay surrounded by pine forests, creating a sheltered environment that makes the water appear like a natural lake.

Greece is home to many secluded beaches, away from main tourist routes and resorts. These lesser-known coastlines are found on the islands of Crete, Lefkada, Zakynthos, Cephalonia, Milos, and Karpathos. Some feature fine light-colored sand, others black volcanic pebbles from ancient eruptions, and all are surrounded by turquoise waters where the seabed is visible from the surface. Accessing these sites often requires extra effort: steep paths descending from cliffs, unpaved roads crossing Mediterranean scrub, or boat trips from coastal villages. Seitan Limania is nestled in a gorge with rocky walls over 100 meters high, while Egremni Beach is accessible after descending 350 carved steps in the cliffs. Mavra Volia is distinguished by its black lava stones, remnants of an eruption 2200 years ago, and Kedrodasos is home to centuries-old junipers casting shadows on the sand. These beaches generally have little or no tourist infrastructure. The lack of restaurants, parasol rentals, or paved parking preserves their natural state and limits the number of visitors, even during peak summer season. Some areas, such as Marathonisi Island, are partially protected to allow nesting of loggerhead turtles.
