Steni Vala Beach (see: Glyfa Beach) is situated near a small village on the north east side of the island of Alonissos at about twelve kilometres distance of the capital Patitiri, and it was once a hide away for pirates. It is a large and narrow pebble beach with quite large pebbles, overlooking the opposite island of Peristera. As far as I know there are sunbeds and umbrellas for rent during high season on Steni Vala and there are only a few trees near the beach. Most of Steni Vala Beach is surrounded by shrubs. On the beach there is a small hut in which the Monk Seal Treatment and Rehabilitation Centre is housed.
In the village of Steni Vala itself are a couple of taverns and cafés and there are some accommodations for rent. In the wider area there are luxury villas that are being offered for rent to the tourists that visit Alonissos island. Although the village of Steni Vala has developed into a small tourist resort of its own, most of the inhabitants of the village still still live traditionally from fishery.

To Fanari restaurant is located in the harbor of Steni Vala on the island of Alonissos and is specialized in seafood, but there are also plenty of other things on the menu, such as chicken, souvlaki, moussaka and salads. We ordered a linguini with tuna, a chicken souvlaki and a Greek salad. Everything tastes great, but unfortunately the French fries are not crispy. The Greek salad is very good, with delicious feta cheese and some onions, the bread is fresh and crisp.

Our verdict: an 8 out of 10.
