GREEK FLOTILLA SAILING HOLIDAYS

Northern Sporades & Pelion
A collection of beautiful and relatively unspoilt islands lying off the coast of Thessaly and the Pelion peninsula, with the large island of Evia lying to the south west, the Northern Sporades are an absolute ‘must see’ for Greek lovers and a ‘must do’ for more experienced sailors. The islands are renowned for their superb sandy beaches, scenic pine-wooded hills, pretty towns and abundant sea life. A national sea park has been established east of Alonissos.

This wonderful sailing area will suit more experienced crews who relish the challenge of some fresh sailing winds and some quieter, off the beaten track islands to explore.
Our base is the idyllic holiday island of Skiathos, with its lively town and excellent sandy beaches, famed as being amongst the very best in the Aegean. Our westbound Pelion itinerary enters the sheltered Gulf of Volos, once the home of Jason and his Argonauts so a natural choice for Seafarers!

Lying in the shadow of the Pelion peninsula and blessed with countless safe anchorages and timeless fishing villages, we visit sleepy Paleo Trikeri and historic Pegadi from where Achilles set sail for Troy.

After a night at Amaliopolis, we cross the straits south towards the huge island of Evia and the lively little resort of Orei with the remains of its’ ancient Acropolis guarding the harbour.

Our route back to Skiathos takes us to Koukounaries, famed as one of the Mediteranean's best beaches and a pleasant little resort.

Our Sporades Route explores the islands including unique Alonissos, traditional and still undiscovered by the masses with scenic harbours at Patitiri and Steni Vala, some lovely beaches and dramatic scenery.

We then head for the uninhabited islands of Peristeri, Xero, or weather permitting, possibly Pelagos also known as Kyra Panaghia, with its single resident and herds of wild goats.

Next the charming Island of Skopelos, with its capital of the same name, set on steep slopes overlooking the pretty harbour. Sailing round to the island's south coast, there are a series of beautiful sheltered bays to explore such as Agnonda, Panormos, or Glossa, all with fine beaches and traditional tavernas to discover.
