Greece: The Sporades Charter Itinerary

Greece: The Sporades Itinerary

Greece: The Sporades Yacht Charter
A week among the green, forested islands of the Sporades, where pine woods run down to turquoise coves and Europe’s largest marine park shelters rare seals and dolphins. Quieter and lusher than the Cyclades, these islands are all beaches, blue-domed villages and clear water. Expect sixty golden shores and hidden monasteries, snorkelling in a protected reserve and long swims off near-empty coves.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter cove. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Skiathos

Step aboard at Skiathos, cosmopolitan gateway to the Sporades, famed for some sixty golden beaches ringed by pine. Explore the lively town, then sail out to anchor in a turquoise cove for a first swim.
Day 2

Skopelos Town

Cruise to beautiful Skopelos, greenest of the islands, and its spectacular main town, a cascade of white houses and blue domes tumbling to the sea. Wander the lanes, swim below the town, and dine on the waterfront.
Day 3

Skopelos

Spend the day along the wooded coast of Skopelos, dotted with hidden coves and pebble beaches backed by pine. Visit the famous clifftop chapel of Agios Ioannis, then anchor in a quiet bay for an afternoon swim.
Day 4

Alonissos

Sail to unspoiled Alonissos, most remote and traditional of the main islands, cloaked in forest and fragrant herbs. Explore the restored old village, swim from a clear cove, and take in the island’s gentle calm.
Day 5

The Marine Park

Cruise into the National Marine Park of Alonissos, the largest in Europe and a sanctuary for the rare monk seal and dolphins. Snorkel the pristine reefs, keep watch for wildlife, and anchor in a protected bay.
