The beautiful Sporades Islands of Northern Greece are wonderfully unspoilt by tourism. Only four of these twenty-four Northern Aegean Sea islands are permanently inhabited, making this the most secluded of all Greek island sailing destinations.

Visit the northern Sporades for spectacular scenery, beautiful beach scenes and for starry nights at anchorage, where the only sound is that of water lapping against the hull.

Start your Sporades yacht charter from Volos port on the Pelion peninsula, before arriving at the forested island of Skiathos, which shot to fame as a location for the 2008 hit movie "Mamma Mia". Verdant countryside, rural monasteries and a cobbled maze of an old town are but a footnote to the island's main attractions - glorious beaches and fantastically fresh fish.

Volos is good for:

Hiking trails

Historic museums

Churches & cathedrals

beaches

Local cuisine

Incredible viewpoints

Skiathos is the more remote and beautiful, but Volos city has better marina facilities and is more easily accessible, being on the Pagasitic gulf.

The busy commercial port is well placed in the north of the Sporades.

There are a series of large supermarkets near the marina, and as a large city, Volos has every facility you could need.

Volos has a peculiar localised wind – most afternoons in the summer, a 10-15 knot southerly will blow onto the city, often even if there’s a northerly outside the bay.

Volos yacht charters caters to all, with more options in terms of yachts to choose from, under the gaze of Mount Pelion, versus Skiathos.
