Sporades Islands
Skiathos, Skopelos and Skopelos
Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos, three lush green islands with wonderful beaches. Skiathos is home to Koukounaries, one of the most beautiful beaches in the area, and Skopelos is where “Mamma Mia” was filmed. On Alonissos' hiking trails, you will explore the beauty of unspoiled nature and, around it, the Sporades islands' famous marine park.
From its deep green trees to its rockin' bars and restaurants, the island of Skiathos invites you to share its distinctive and spirited vibe. Perfect for those who demand high standards, it has long been a premier destination for cosmopolitan travelers, particularly those on yachts and sailboats cruising the Mediterranean. At its lively marina, boats of all kinds - many available for private charter - are docked side by side. Meanwhile, the beach service of Skiathos is flawless. Nights in the main town, Hora, are lively and fun and Lalaria and Koukounaries rank among the most spectacular beaches in Greece. The 14th-century castle, the habitat of Strofilias, the caves… there's beauty at every turn. Youthful and exuberant, Skiathos is an island on which you can be sure that the locals will go out of their way to make your stay unforgettable! The dazzlingly beautiful Lalaria beach is one of the landmarks that put Skiathos on the map. Prepare for crystal-clear waters, smooth white pebbles, steep cliffs that plunge into the sea. Little boats, yachts and day cruises bring visitors here to experience its splendour.

If your holiday priorities are tranquillity, relaxation and natural beauty, then make your way to Skopelos in the Sporades. Layer upon layer of luscious shades of green make a stunning vista of pine trees stretching out to the seashore, where you'll find hidden coves with fishing boats and winding paths leading through dense forests. Banish any thoughts of timetables or deadlines and spend whole afternoons just wandering around the picturesque main town. Amidst the cluster of cobblestone streets are tiny chapels and neoclassical buildings. Art comes to life everywhere in Skopelos: in the hand-crafted vases and hand-painted plates and in the embroidery and miniature model boats. The star of the hit musical Mamma Mia, which gave the island its recent fame, will also be the star of your holiday.
Your holidays in Skiathos will be painted green and blue. About 80% of Skopelos is covered in dense, luxuriant forest. The sea and greenery merge into one on beaches such as Milia, Panormos, Elios, Velanio, Glysteri, Agnontas, Pethameni, Armenopetra and Antrines, where pine trees embrace the Aegean Sea, providing shade after a refreshing dip.

On the western side of the Aegean, on the edge of the Sporades, you'll find one of the least developed Greek islands. Alonissos will captivate you with its lush, green landscape and pristine beaches, making it the perfect destination for those looking for a hidden escape waiting to share its secrets. Alonissos is a place for profound relaxation and rejuvenation. The southern part of the island is embroidered with beaches, charming bays and green-blue water, with pine trees that reach the water's edge. In the central and northern parts, you'll find the traditional settlement of Hora and a network of marked hiking trails. You'll forget the meaning of the word stress.
