Last updated on 22 May 2026
Yacht charter in the Sporades Islands is a great way to discover a world apart, a world dotted with historical remains that are at one with nature. The magnificent Greek archipelago of the Sporades, meaning "scattered", is made up of numerous islands, only four of which are inhabited, and is a fantastic sailing area for a yacht in Greece.
Whether you opt for a yacht charter to Skiathos or decide to sail to the white town of Skopelos, you won't regret your stay! Splendid, long sandy beaches overlooking turquoise waters with, in the background, some tall mountainsveiling their most beautiful mantle of greenery, houses nestled on the slopes of the hills all dressed in white… The landscape and panoramas of the Sporades Islands seem straight out of a dream and give way to reverie.
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. The main ones are: Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos, which is surrounded by a marine park with 7 uninhabited islands, and Skyros. These four islands are located in the north of the Sporades, close-hauled to the mainland.
The most beautiful attractions of the Sporades
A sailing cruise in the Sporades guarantees you pleasant surprises. Each island is unique and immerses you in an oasis of calm. For a great introduction, start with a stopover on the island of Alonissos. Considered the wildest of the archipelago, Alonissos is a paradise for walkers, who can explore little paths through olive, pomegranate and fig trees. Alonissos offers pretty rocky coves to yachtsmen, who can try snorkeling among the monk seals and dolphins.
Skiathos will be an interesting port of call for lovers of beautiful panoramas, who will be able to admire the steep white cliffs plunging straight down into an azure sea in the open sea off Lalaria beach. A cultural break awaits you in Skopelos, with its 360 churches plunging the island into a picturesque setting.

For a sailing cruise in the Aegean Sea, leave the Sporades archipelago and discover its surroundings, home to equally impressive places of interest.

Adjusting course northwards, at the edge of the Sporades, you enter the Thermaic Gulf, where Thessaloniki awaits you, with its churches and rich historical heritage inherited from Ottoman rule, such as the White Tower proudly dominating Victory Boulevard.
In the vicinity of the Sporades, the island of Euboea takes shape.
