About

An alternative destination of unique beauty

The Northern Sporades are an alternative destination of unique beauty in the northern Aegean Sea. Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos are among the greenest islands in the Mediterranean Sea. In summer they are among the most popular destinations in Greece and an ideal destination for sailing vacations. Choose a laid-back holiday with family and friends or an adventurous one with the love of your life.

We sail there from Halkidiki on the 7 day Sporades cruise.

Skopelos

Preferable location for exploring the wild nature

Skopelos is the second largest in the Sporades chain. The stunning greenery and the splendid sea view makes it the preferable location for exploring the wild nature of the Greek islands. Skopelos is covered mostly in forest and has plenty of interesting hiking trails.

Among the most fascinating attractions of the island is the Venetian Castle**, the Rock of Kastri** and Panormos, a natural port between pines and rocks, perfect anchorage for sailing yachts. Oh, don’t forget to taste the traditional cheese pie called “Strifti”.

Alonnisos

The heart of the sea nature of the Sporades island complex

The beautiful island of Alonissos is the heart of the Sporades island complex’s aquatic life. The west and the north coast are a mix of sandy and rocky beaches, while the east is speckled with seductive aquamarine bays. It’s full of olive and fruit trees, whitewashed houses and narrow paved streets.

If you plan on visiting Alonissos you should visit by boat the National Sea Park, the only Sea Park in Europe. Rich in marine life and home of several endangered species, such as the famous Monk Seals, or Monachus Monachus.

Skiathos

Preferable location for exploring the wild nature

Probably the most popular destination of N. Aegean as combines both the natural beauty of the landscapes along with the cosmopolitan style of the island. You can spend the day swimming in the various beaches, visit with a sailing yacht the small “Tsougria” island nearby or get lost into the many traditional, white alleys.

For those who prefer to party, Skiathos offers the best nightlife till early morning…
