Although this region may not be as commercialized or as well-known as the Cyclades Islands. Many may have heard of Skopelos and Skiathos which are famous for the filming of the movie MAMA MIA. This complex of islands is made up of dense green pine forests, beautiful sandy beaches, and an incredible variation of turquoise and aquamarine waters with different tones and colors scattered across the many little beaches and bays located all over these islands. Skiathos is the most commercial and organized, next would be Skopelos, then Skyros, and finally Alonissos which is the quietest of the bunch.

The Sporades Islands are an exceptional playground when cruising around these breathtaking areas. Your crew will have thorough knowledge of all the hidden coves, beaches, and off the beaten track locations. Allowing you to discover some truly unique and beautiful places. They will also be able to lead you to the liveliest and best rated establishments during your stay here. This is an incredible advantage, seeing as no time will be wasted trying to figure out what is the best plan of action. Simply let them know what types of activities and preferences you have and let this excellent team do the rest!

By sailing or as many have come to know as island hopping, not only can you take advantage of visiting these amazing places, but also seize the opportunity to discover all their beauty, culture, and gastronomy. When cruising onboard a crewed catamaran you will not only have the skippers in depth knowledge of the islands, but also have the chance to visit hidden gems, enchanted bays, and secret locations. This way avoiding the touristic and pretentious areas while on your Sporades sailing vacation.
