Shopping on Alonissos |
|
If you are staying at the house you will need to know where you can get food and provisions for your stay. The main place to shop is in Patitiri and most of the shops are open in the morning until 2pm and then in the evening from 5pm onwards. For small scale shopping there are three supermarkets in the Old Town. These are known rather irreverently as "Thin Maria's", "Maria's" and "Fat Maria's". The former and latter are in the Old Town near to Church of Agios Nicholaos. "Fat Maria's" is very close to the Church and "Thin Maria's" is further down the steps. "Maria's" is the new supermarket at the bus stop in the Old Town near to Taverna Panselinos. All have stocks of water, drinks, tinned foods, cat and dog foods along with general household products in various amounts of supply.
For a wider choice of goods and for frozen foods, meat, fish, fresh fruit, vegetables and bread you need to head for Patitiri. There are two main streets in Patitiri both which head inland; Pelasgon is the beach end of the harbour and Ikion Dolopon is the Alkyon Hotel end of the harbour. The other main street is the harbour front. The location of shops is as follows: |
