Rousoumi Gialos (Alonissos)

39° 8.8′ N · 23° 52.2′ E · approximate

The most popular beach near Patitiri, now built up with hotels and apartments, with good snorkelling in its south-east corner.

Practical

Approximate position between Patitiri and Votsi (no published coordinate). Anchor in 6–12 m over weed and sand; holding mediocre. Extremely rolly and shallow, with less usable room than the chart suggests — swing rather than taking lines ashore. The small rectangular quay has under 2 m. The islet to the south is almost joined to the shore — no passage inside it (Sailing Issues).
