This experience, in a nutshell

The Sporades are a charming archipelago in the northwestern Aegean Sea, made up of eleven islands and islets. The four main islands are Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos and Skyros, together with several smaller islands and rocky islets.

They are renowned for their lush coastline, where dense pine forests reach the sea, crystal-clear waters, secluded coves and beautiful beaches.

Each island has its own unique atmosphere and distinctive character, making the Sporades the perfect destination for a holiday that combines relaxation, unspoilt nature and vibrant local life. On the eastern side of the archipelago lies the National Marine Park, a protected area of outstanding natural beauty where visitors may spot the endangered Mediterranean monk seal, a true delight for nature lovers and photographers.

Skiathos, the westernmost island, is the smallest but also the liveliest, thanks to its international airport. Covering just 42 km², it boasts more than 70 sandy beaches—a rarity in Greece—and countless picturesque coves.

The peaceful island of Skopelos is famous for its postcard-perfect natural harbour and magnificent pine forests.

Further east, Alonissos is home to the National Marine Park, where the Mediterranean monk seal is protected and can often be seen. Rising from the sea like a lush green mountain, the island is covered with dense pine forests, oak woods, strawberry trees and fruit orchards. It is considered by many to be the most beautiful island in the Sporades and one of the finest in all of Greece.

Further south, Skyros is renowned for its traditional cuisine and its craftsmanship in wood carving and ceramics.

The entire archipelago is dotted with rocky islets, reefs and uninhabited islands, offering sheltered anchorages, fascinating sea caves and impressive rock formations to explore.

Thanks to their pristine landscapes and sheltered waters, the Sporades are also an ideal destination for beginners, families and anyone looking for a relaxing sailing holiday. This itinerary remains one of Greece's best-kept secrets, far from the crowds that flock to the country's larger and more famous islands.

Fabulous holiday. The itinerary traced by our skipper allowed us to mix time and experiences both at sea and on land very well. The stages he selected gave us immemorial baths in uncrowded coves characterized by very clean waters. Andrea was very professional, competent, public, and always attentive to the safety of the entire crew. Furthermore, with his calmness and infinite patience he managed to create a pleasant and convivial atmosphere among all his guests. We spent evenings in the roadstead under starry really difficult to forget. The management of the kitchen has never created disagreements as well as the management of the common fund.

First experience on a sailing boat and it certainly won't be the last! Andrea is prepared, helpful and able to create a pleasant atmosphere on board. Nice itinerary and a group with whom it was easy to share laughter, baths and beautiful places. A week that I will carry in my heart. Highly recommended!

As a first boat holiday experience and overall it was positive; Andrea is a very good skipper and has a good character. The only flaw is the somewhat reduced space, I think the boat is suitable for a group of up to 6 people so that you can move around more easily, and I would have preferred a slightly more organized management of meals. We have seen wonderful posts and I hope to be able to repeat the experience.
