Discover the Sporades Islands
Lying in the Aegean Sea, just off Greece’s east coast the Sporades archipelago is one of the Mediterranean’s lesser known island groups that has retained its unique beauty and authentic charm over centuries. Only four of the twenty four islands are inhabited, Skiathos and Skopelos are the most famous while Alonissos and Skyros keep a lower profile. The Sporades are the ultimate island-hopping sailing area, scattered – literally ‘sporadically’. Sail away from a backdrop of thick green pine forest and head out into the turquoise Aegean sea exploring secluded coves and pretty little beaches. Sail surrounded by incomparable natural beauty, breathtaking landscapes and idyllic coastlines and explore dazzling, whitewashed houses, chapels, churches, monasteries and labyrinthine streets in authentic towns full of life. Having provided the backdrop for the film Mama Mia there are still plenty of places you can reach only by yacht.
