Established in 1992, its 2,250km2 is home to a fascinating variety of flora, fauna, marine life (including Mediterranean monk seals), archaeological ruins and unspoiled natural beauty. By boat we enter the Marine Park, and we take a short walk on the island of Kyra Panagia and Peristera. We return back to Alonissos island and stay the night in a hotel.
