Why Sporades?

The Sporades — Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos — are Greece's greenest islands, famous worldwide as the filming location of Mamma Mia. Pine forests reach the sea, creating stunning contrasts with turquoise water. Alonissos is surrounded by a National Marine Park, home to the rare Mediterranean monk seal. The Sporades offer relaxed sailing with shorter distances and beautiful anchorages.

Who is it for?

  • Families and couples
  • Nature lovers and snorkelers
  • Mamma Mia fans
  • Sailors preferring shorter, relaxed passages
  • Fewer islands compared to Cyclades or Dodecanese
