Sporades yacht charter from Skopelos

Loutraki harbour is a beautiful, quiet place to start your charter in the Sporades. A short stroll from the quay is the village of Glossa, with breathtaking views south across the Aegean.

You are ideally placed to explore Skopelos, Alonissos and Kyra Panagia to the north east, or Skiathos, the Gulf of Volos and the north coast of Evia if you prefer.

Two sample weeks show the choice: east to Alonissos, Kyra Panagia and Skopelos Town, or west into the Gulf of Volos via Skiathos, Paleo Trikeri, Volos and Milina.

Sample itinerary

A sample week sailing from Skopelos

A suggested seven-night route east through the Sporades, to Alonissos, Kyra Panagia, Skopelos Town and Skiathos.

  1. Day1

    Arrive at Loutraki

    Fly from the UK to Skiathos, then take the short ferry to our base in the pretty harbour of Loutraki on Skopelos.

  2. Day2

    Patitiri, Alonissos (18nm)

    The lush capital of Alonissos has an enchanting, timeless harbour. Patitiri takes its name from its old wine presses, so enjoy a carafe in the evening sun.

  3. Day3

    Kyra Panagia (19nm)

    One of the best natural harbours in Greece, on an island home only to farmers and their animals. Visit the restored historic monastery or simply enjoy the remoteness.

  4. Day4

    Steni Vala, Alonissos (14nm)

    A sheltered cove where pirates once hid their ships, now part of a conservation area for monk seals, which you may be lucky enough to spot. Walk to the pebbly beach of Agios Petros.

  5. Day5

    Skopelos Town (12nm)

    A charming town rising like an amphitheatre from its scenic harbour. Explore the Byzantine churches and the 13th-century Venetian castle of the old town, then the waterfront jewellers and tavernas.

  6. Day6

    Skiathos Town (16nm)

    A cosmopolitan yet romantic capital with plenty of restaurants and bars. Soak up the atmosphere on Papadiamantis Street.

  7. Day7

    Back to Loutraki

    Sail back to Loutraki for your last evening.

  8. Day8

    Disembark

    Disembark and transfer to Skiathos airport.

The Western route sails to Skiathos Town, Paleo Trikeri and Volos in the Gulf of Volos, Milina and Koukounaries beach on Skiathos, then back to Loutraki. This is a suggested route only. You are free to plan your own itinerary, and the base team will be happy to suggest harbours and anchorages to suit the weather.
