The Sporades are an enchanting archipelago in the north-western Aegean Sea, consisting of eleven islands and islets. Four main islands: Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos and Skyros and some smaller islands and atolls. They are characterized by a lush coastline, with green pine forests lapping the sea, crystal clear waters, solitary coves and beautiful beaches.

Each island has its own unique atmosphere, its own characteristics and its own grace: they are therefore ideal for a holiday that combines relaxation, unspoiled nature and fun. On the eastern side of the archipelago, the National Marine Park has been established for years now, an oasis of rare beauty where it is possible to admire the Mediterranean Monk Seal, which will surprise lovers of nature and photography.

Skiatos is the westernmost one, despite being the smallest it is the busiest and liveliest thanks to its international airport. It has an area of only 42 square km but has over 70 sandy beaches (a rarity in Greece) and coves. Peaceful Skopelos boasts a picture-perfect natural harbor and beautiful pine forests. Further east, Alonissos is home to the National Marine Park, where the Mediterranean monk seal lives protected. which is not difficult to meet The island emerges from the sea as a green and luxuriant mountain covered with dense pine forests, oak woods, strawberry trees and fruit trees. It is perhaps the most beautiful island of the Sporades and one of the most beautiful in all of Greece. Further south, Skyros is renowned for its cuisine and traditional craftsmanship in woodworking and ceramics. The whole archipelago is dotted with rocks, atolls, uninhabited islets, which offer shelter for stops in the roadstead and to visit caves and stacks.

During the summer months the Sporades islands are beaten by a generally present wind, but not constant or too strong as it happens in the Cyclades, swept by the fearsome Meltemi from July to September, which makes navigation too demanding and not very relaxing.

At the Sporades, on the other hand, the boat cruise will flow quietly, you can sail but the sea will not be treacherous. You travel pushed by the wind, in silence, without haste. These characteristics, together with its unspoiled and lush nature, make them ideal for beginners, those who come to relax and for families. A perfect itinerary and still little traveled by lovers of sailing holidays, far from the mass tourism of the largest and most famous islands.
