Alonaki is a small, sheltered cove in Fanari, Epirus, with a sandy beach and shallow, calm waters. The surrounding clay rocks provide natural protection, making it ideal for families. Its orientation ensures sunshine for most of the day.
The beach faces southwest. With northeasterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southwesterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The bay is naturally well sheltered — conditions often remain swimmable even on breezy days.
The shore faces southwest (215°), so from July to May the sun sets within its field of view, over the water. In the remaining seasons the sunset falls further to the side, over land.
An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
Yes — the water deepens gradually, making it one of the better choices for small children.
On days with northeasterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Thanks to the sheltered bay it is one of the safer bets in the area on windy days.
No — it is an unspoiled beach with no facilities, so bring water and shade with you.
