Experience lush green islands, crystal clear waters and Aegean breezes
If you have already experienced the delights of sailing in the Ionian and the Saronic Gulf, why not try one of our more challenging sailing areas, the Northern Sporades?
With fresh breezes, which strengthen in the summer Meltemi winds, the open waters of the Sporades offer excellent sailing. The end of each day on the water rewards you with a wonderful mix of cosmopolitan towns on our island route, such as Skiathos and Skopelos as well as sleepy little hamlets like Steni Vala and deserted island bays such as Kyra Panagia.
For culture vultures you can visit some of the locations for the hit movie “Mamma Mia” or anchor up and relax on one of the stunning sandy beaches.
The contrasting Pelion route explores the Gulf of Volos and its islands as well as the northern part of Evvia island. Paleo Trikeri and “Donkey” island are must see destinations as you explore the crystal clear waters on your Sporades flotilla holiday.
Key Features
- Average daily distance 15nm
- Yacht prices from £1,895
- More challenging meltemi sailing
- May to October
- Yachts from 33 to 51ft

Area Information
The Sporades, nestled in the azure waters of the Aegean Sea, are a sailor’s paradise, renowned for their unspoiled beauty and ideal sailing conditions. The archipelago’s scattered layout creates an enticing maze of islands that are perfect for exploration by boat. With steady breezes and numerous safe harbors and secluded coves, the region is tailor-made for leisurely days spent sailing from one charming island to another. The crystal-clear waters invite sailors to anchor and swim off their boats, while the panoramic vistas of lush greenery and rugged coastlines provide a stunning backdrop to every voyage. Sailing in the Sporades not only promises adventure but also an escape into serene, natural beauty that captivates and relaxes in equal measure.
Our Eastern route explores Skopelos further before heading to Alonissos and the stunning islands of its marine park while the western route heads first to Skiathos before travelling to the bay of Volos and the island of Evia.
Weather & Sailing Conditions
Reliable sunshine and good sailing winds with flat seas along the southern side of the Islands. The temperature ranges from the low 20’s at the beginning and end of season to the high 30s in August. Moderate to fresh winds force 3-6, the upper range being during the late July and August Meltemi season. Great for experienced sailors.
Routes
The Sporades Flotilla runs two separate routes with odd weeks sailing the Sporades Route and even weeks sailing the Pelion Route. Full details of these two routes are below, please note you can combine the two into an epic two week holiday.
