This experience, in a nutshell

Sailing in a flotilla on a sailing boat is a unique and unforgettable experience!

Are you curious to experience it too?

Come with us to discover the Sporades Islands!


We'll sail together aboard two catamarans between the fantastic and windy islands of the Aegean Sea.


We will set sail from Skiathos and sail under full sail among the thousand inlets of the islets that we will meet in the archipelago: Skopelos, Alonnisos, Peristera, Panagia and Skantzoura, within wonderful marine oases.


We will be able to savor the beauty of the solitary sun-kissed islands, dive into turquoise waters and enjoy the days in the cheerful company of new friends, up to aperitifs at sunset and dinners in the marinas or under the stars, before falling asleep in the roadstead in the moonlight in one of the many protected bays.


The Sporades (the toponym means scattered or scattered), mountainous islands dispersed in an extraordinarily clear sea, are divided into two groups: Northern Sporades, which we visit during the cruise and Eastern Sporades located along the coast of Asia Minor.

In its set of islands, the archipelago describes a sickle curve starting from the southern corner of the Trikeri peninsula to the north up to the small semi-submerged rock of Psathoura.


There are four main islands: Skiatos and Skopelos, the most touristy, Alonnisos and Skiros the most unspoiled together with numerous smaller uninhabited islands.

The Sporades are very green, the vegetation is one of their great strengths. It seems that the Sporades breathe deeply (and indeed they do) in their pine forests, which sometimes stop but only when the sea decides it.


The beautiful landscapes and beautiful sandy beaches attract more and more tourists to the archipelago's most easily accessible islands.

The Meltemi does not blow in the Northern Sporades as intensely as in the southernmost areas. It generally comes from the north-northeast, but its direction is greatly altered by the islands and the channels that separate them. The islands block much of the long sea that comes from the north. The combination of meltemi and flat seas along the sheltered shores of the islands makes sailing very exciting.


We are waiting for you to discover all this and much more!

Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Skiathos.

Check-in: 5:00 PM

Our trip ends here:

Skiathos.

Check-out: 9:00 AM

Leg 1

Skiathos

It is the only one closest to the mainland coast also called the Greek Riviera. Almost the entire population lives in the town of Skiathos. In recent years, the country of Skiathos has grown to become a sort of small Mykonos with discos, bars and good restaurants open until late at night. During the summer the resort is a destination for tourists attracted by the beautiful sandy beaches, however the atmosphere remains genuine and the inhabitants are friendly.

Leg 2

Skopelos

Like Skiathos, Skopelos is also densely covered with pine forests and very fertile. Vineyards, olive trees, almond trees, pears, lemons and plums are cultivated there, for which the island is renowned. It is cultivated more intensively than in Skiathos and the inhabitants are more conservative. The capital is Skopelos on the east coast of the island.

Loutraki is a small tourist resort and the quiet village of the past is now a destination for tourists from Skiathos, attracted by the beautiful beaches that stretch southeast of the marina. The new paved and shaded paths run around the harbour and lead to the seafront cafes in the village. The village above Glossa rewards the tiring climb, even if only to go to the Agnanti trattoria where the view and the cuisine are magnificent. 

Leg 3

Alonissos

Formerly known as Ilkos, this undulating and wooded island relies on donkeys, gulets or motor vehicles for transport. The old capital of Alonnisos, which rests on a hill in the south of the island, was almost abandoned following the violent earthquake of 1965. The inhabitants moved to Patitiri and Votsi, to return and renovate most of the houses in the village.

As with the other islands of the archipelago, the capital has been moved from the village on the hill to the port. Patitiri is a delightful town enclosed to the south by cliffs and pine-covered hills that attract an increasing number of tourists.

Alonissos benefited in part from the effect of the film Mamma Mia which involved in particular Skopelos and Skiathos, where it was filmed. Here the sea is so transparent that one wonders if it is real or not.

Leg 4

Peristeri-Panayia-Skantzoura

Only sailors arrive in Peristeri. The islet of Peristeri is the frontier for the marine park of the Northern Sporades, the solitary kingdom of the monk seal, Kri Kri goats (an ancient breed), cormorants, partridges and white geese. With the exception of Piperi, in the heart of the park, where navigation is allowed only three miles away from its coast, all the islands of the park can be visited.

All the islets are fabulous, the sea is beautiful and the coves where you drop anchor are so inviting that you don't want to leave!

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

Wonderful places, unique islands, each one with different characteristics. The boat was really nice and big, with some malfunctions but nothing compromising. Too bad I didn't take advantage of every day to visit coves, the last day we were in Capo d'Orlando to avoid the queue at the refueling, I understand the needs but ... The only flaw is the feeling that a tour was planned but without being interested in the opportunities of the area, you get off and you don't know what to see or how to move, you spend the night in Lipari and the next evening there is the feast of the Patron that you miss ... Navigation yes but organization no. Competent skipper who always made me feel safe while sailing, I did not like the requests from the galley and the lack of knowledge about extra navigation information. The holiday was described as a flotilla but a separation between the two boats is deliberately maintained, which did not create problems for me but it is only for fairness.

I would have liked more information and indications on places to visit and more interaction with the catamaran, since it was a flotilla holiday. Thanks to Gabriele, an experienced skipper, I have always felt safe even in the face of the unexpected. Seeing the Aeolian Islands like this, I was not enthusiastic but I was lucky to have experienced, collaborative and nice people on the boat!

2 Catamarans in Greece: discover the Sporades Islands with us

Wonderful experience and above expectations! The skipper Fabrizio, in addition to being very experienced, perfectly interpreted the group's wishes by taking us every day to coves with spectacular water and different but intact and wild locations (including a natural park where everyone left their hearts), and alternating in a balanced way the much-loved roadsteads with stops in the ports, in which there was no lack of chore characteristics. We ate very well because in the lucky group there were very good chefs who prepared pasta, flatbread, fish and other delicacies every day! The boat was comfortable and organized! An experience for which I would leave today and that I recommend to all lovers of the sea experienced on a boat!
