Holidays to Marpunta serve up a secluded slice of Greece – it's tranquil, chock-a-block with breathtaking sights and perfect for a spot of R&R.
Rustic charm
Marpunta's a pocket-sized village on the south coast of the island of Alonissos. Despite being a short drive from the island's capital, this rural spot's in a world of its own, with authentic charm on tap and quiet hiking trails to hand. Perfumed by the surrounding pines, it's a mini Greek paradise.
Coastal beauty
There are two crescent bays to choose from here. The Aegean Sea's too inviting to refuse a dip, and the views of the other Sporades Islands make for a dreamy horizon. If you head over to the nearby marine park, you may even catch a glimpse of local Mediterranean monk seals.
