Tzortzi Gialos beach, Beach in Alonnisos, Greece.
Tzortzi Gialos is a beach on the eastern coast of Alonnisos island with a mix of sand and pebbles along the shore. The bay is surrounded by pine forests and provides only limited facilities for visitors.
Alonnisos island has a long maritime tradition that developed over centuries through fishing and shipbuilding. These roots continue to shape how the coasts look and function today.
Local fishermen continue their work in this area, connecting their catches to taverns that serve typical Mediterranean dishes. The activity on the beach reveals the life of a small island community that depends on the sea.
Visitors should bring water, snacks, and sun protection since the beach offers few services. It is wise to arrive early in the day to find a good spot and avoid crowds.
The deep bay is surrounded by pine forests, which makes the water look like a natural lake. This creates a sheltered space that feels distinctly different from the open sea.

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.
