Skiathos is a pine-forested island in the Northern Sporades group with over 60 named beaches, clear Aegean waters and a summer atmosphere that makes it one of the liveliest destinations in northern Greece. At 50,000 euros per week, charters from Skiathos focus on sailing yachts and gulets in the 18 to 24 metre range that can anchor off the beaches and use their tenders to explore the island from the water. The Sporades are less visited by charter traffic than the Cyclades or Saronic, meaning anchorages are rarely crowded and the atmosphere is relaxed even in the peak July and August weeks. Most yachts in this bracket sleep four to six guests across two or three cabins with a crew of two or three. Provisioning in Skiathos Town is straightforward with a well-supplied waterfront market. All-in weekly costs including the advance provisioning allowance typically land between 57,000 and 67,000 euros. From Skiathos, day sails east reach Skopelos and its remarkable Byzantine churches, while the sea-only-access beach at Lalaria on the north coast is a highlight accessible to smaller yachts.
