Greece Sporades on a sailing boat

Sailing boat rental Greece Sporades

The most particular characteristic of the Sporades islands are the enchanting beaches with the rich flora that often reaches the sea. Before leaving for your sailing holiday in the Sporades islands, you can take a stroll through the streets of the city to also taste the Zipuro dish accompanied by fried fish dishes. Starting from Volos after 5 hours of navigation we arrive in Skiathos, the most cosmopolitan island of the Sporades complex, known throughout the world for its 60 beautiful beaches and nightlife! On some of the beaches you can have fun practicing water sports.
The next day we leave from Skiathos and within two hours we find ourselves in the southern part of Skopelos, in Agnontas. Skòpelos is the island with 360 churches, a living popular tradition and its beautiful characteristic settlement, one of the most beautiful in the whole Aegean, with the international photography center that attracts Greek and foreign visitors from all over the world.

After an overnight stay in Agnontas, we raise the sails and in about 2 hours we find ourselves in the capital of Alònnisos, Patitìri. Alònnisos is the island where unique flora and fauna reign supreme, with the marine park which is a refuge for rare species of birds and mammals, and above all the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus Hermann, 1779).

In Patitìri, moreover, you can visit the folklore museum and admire the objects that pirates used in their daily lives, as well as the weapons used during attacks against ships and islands. Furthermore, you can go by taxi or bus (10 minutes) to Palià Alònnisos, the old capital which is located at the top of the island's hill to admire the breathtaking landscape while enjoying the traditional cuisine and desserts or having a drink.

On the fourth day and after an hour of navigation, we arrive at the small rock island "Kyrà Panagià". After we delight ourselves with a swim in the fabulous blue-green sea of ??“Agios Pètros”, we can go to the “Planìtis” gulf for an overnight stay in the harbor, a place where, due to the absence of photo pollution, thousands of stars can be observed in the sky .

The following day, sailing for 2 hours, we arrive at “Stenì Vàlla” of Alònnisos. It is a very quiet fjord, where among other things we can enjoy fresh lobsters, lobster pasta etc. at a very low price.

On the sixth day we set sail towards the capital of Skopelos. Two hours later we find ourselves in the north of the island, where we will swim in beautiful beaches. Before the evening arrives, with half an hour of navigation, we moor in Chora (the capital). We will admire the small town of Skopelos with the houses leaning against each other all around the castle sloping down towards the port.

Among the houses there are many small churches that the Skopelites look after with particular devotion and respect. It's the last day and we leave to return to Volos. After about 5 hours we arrive at Trikeri island, where we will stop to eat fresh fish, prawns and lobsters at cheap prices. The following morning, after 2 and a half hours of navigation we arrive in Volos.
