Yacht charter
Last updated on 8 April 2025
If you're looking to take a long cruise and discover the most beautiful islands in the Sporades archipelago, treat yourself to a yacht charter in Milina.
A charming little coastal village hauling in at the eastern side of the Gulf of Volos, Milina is clearly an excellent point of departure for renting a sailboat in Greece. From Milina, you can reach the islands of Skiathos, Skyros or Spépelos and admire the astonishing beauty of these volcanic islands.
You will have plenty of time to dive into the turquoise waters of Skiathos and stroll along the long, beautiful sandy beaches of Skyros before reaching the village of Milina and enjoying its calm. This coastal town, with its discreet sailing trim, seems to have been somewhat forgotten by tourists. This has also allowed it to retain a certain tranquillity that you will certainly never tire of! In addition to being peaceful, this small seaside resort invites you to discover the handicrafts that embellish its small shops.
No need to go far to enjoy a little moment of peace and quiet! You can even enjoy some good food in the restaurants and taverns that populate the village and port of Milina.
Between sea and mountains
The proximity of Milina to the municipality of Vólos means that yachtsmen can drop anchor in the Pélion region and explore the hinterland. Vólos remains the ideal point of departure for reaching the Pélion massif, home to a number of picturesque villages. Following the winding, narrow roads, you will reach the village of Makrinista, perched at an altitude of over 600 meters, where a breathtaking view of Vólos awaits you. From the monastery of Makrinista, located higher up, you can admire the view over the valley.
Other peaceful villages await you on your excursion, such as Tsagarada, located about fifty kilometers from Vólos, which will entertain lovers of beautiful architecture for a few hours. You will find beautiful churches such as Agia Paraskevi, built in 1909, and Agioi Taxiarches, built in 1789. Further on, the town of Mouresi rises up in the middle of lush vegetation, which will be a good point of departure for walkers heading to Kissos, another small, quiet village with a bucolic charm.
The beaches of the central Pélion
Would you prefer to discover the Pélion region by the sea? You are sure to come across beautiful beaches that are ideal for swimming and relaxing. From the port of Milina, you can reach these famous beaches renowned for their fine sand and crystal-clear waters, such as Agios Ioannis, located a few minutes from the village of Kissos. This family beach paved with small white pebbles is home to numerous restaurants.
Milopotamos beach is unanimously popular with bathers, who are transported by its small river of white sand and pebbles. This beach is divided in two by a steep cliff. Very popular with tourists, Papa Nero beach offers you a little gastronomic break and a magnificent view overlooking the Aegean Sea and the green slopes of Mount Pélion.
