Don't hesitate to sail the warm waters of the Mediterranean and take the opportunity to discover the most beautiful treasures of each island. While on the one hand the long sandy stretches of Skyros rival the idyllic beaches of Skopelos in beauty, on the other hand Alonissos proudly displays a wild character. The island of Skiathos, meanwhile, will enchant revellers who will enjoy dancing until the end of the night in the lively streets of the port.The Sporades Islands are made up of eleven islands.
