Treasure hunt step 3: Alonnisos island

Alonnisos, a return to nature’s innocence in the Sporades!
Alonnisos will captivate you with its lush, green landscape and pristine beaches, making it the perfect destination for those looking for a hidden escape.
It happened to us and we are sure that you will fall in love with this island too!

What to do in Alonnisos
Rich in marine life and home to several endangered species, such as dolphins, the famous Monk Seals, or Monachus Monachus.
This is why YAKO Sailing came to terms with MOm / The Hellenic Society for the Study and Protection of the Monk seal, to participate in the innovative research project evaluating the conservation status of the Cetacean population (i.e., dolphins and whales).
Hop on board with ΥΑΚΟ Sailing in one of our cruises and, witness some of the most fascinating wildlife in the Aegean Archipelago, while visiting unique locations with breathtaking sceneries.
Alonnisos is a place for deep relaxation and rejuvenation, exactly like scuba diving. Our local partner Sporades Diving Center will train you, and together you will explore the Greek seabed and all of its treasures.
In the central and northern parts, we’ll find the traditional settlement of Hora and a network of marked hiking trails where our experienced guide will lead us. You will definitely feel relaxed and lighter day after day on our cruise.
With its homes lined up like soldiers, Alonnisos’ traditional settlement looks like a castle observing the sea from above.
Wander around the streets at dusk as a deep red sun disappears into the sea. Follow YAKO Sailing and you’ll be rewarded with one of the most beautiful sunsets in the Aegean.
The answer of the riddle: The moon.
You’ve just got the third key to unlock the treasure chest.
