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.

Our itinerary

The itinerary begins with the exploration of some of the beautiful Sporades Islands, before heading south towards Athens. Depending on the weather conditions, the route will either pass by Skyros or along the western coast of Evia, before reaching Lavrio, close to Athens International Airport, where the cruise ends.
Each day we will choose a different anchorage to make the most of the area's natural beauty, with stops in Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos and Evia.
This is an itinerary away from the usual sailing routes, rich in places of interest and surrounded by unspoilt seas inhabited by monk seals, sea turtles and dolphins, as well as lush green landscapes.

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.

A reliable, welcoming skipper. He gives you free choice which time you want to wake up (he starts the trip in the morning and you can sleep longer if wanted) and how much you're interested in active participation of the sailing. The boot is very well equipped: three bathrooms, two SUPs, fins and snorqueling masks and everything you might need for cooking.
