Greece

Welcome to our Greek Islands Sporades Sailing Adventures!

Brand new for 2014 - we've opened up another base in Greece, adding the northern Aegean islands of the Sporades and the nearby Pelion Peninsula to our Mediterranean cruising grounds.

The Sporades lie about 90 miles north of Athens in the Aegean, and extend off the eastern coast of mainland Greece. There are 11 islands in all, of which only 4 are inhabited: Skiathos, Skiros, Skopelos, and Alonissos.

Known as the emerald of the Aegean because of their rich vegetation, and stunning green and blue bays, they boast some of the clearest waters and most beautiful beaches in the Med.

Unspoiled and authentic, with it's mixture of bustling waterfront towns, sleepy fishing villages and remote anchorages, the Sporades provides a wonderful cruising area. We still have the winds of the Meltemi blowing up here, but with the islands providing shelter from the swells, we can enjoy some exciting flat water sailing in their lee.

This is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The waters around Alonniso have also been designated as a National Marine Park, and are home to the Mediterranean monk seal as well as a number of other species of wildlife, including plenty of dolphins.

Our adventures also take us over to the mainland, and behind the wonderfully unspoiled Pelion Peninsula, where we find quiet villages and very little tourism, allowing us to explore the real Greece far from the well-trodden track.
