Greek FLOTILLA – Northern Sporades & Pelion

Greek Flotilla Sailing Bay

Now most definitely 'off the beaten track' Greece, this coastline once played home not only to Jason and his Argonauts, but was the spot where Achilles set sail to conquer Troy. The small islands here are beautiful with sandy beaches, wooded headlands and pretty villages. It's a 'must see' area for lovers of Greece with 'must sail' waters for more experienced crews.

From our Greece flotilla homeport on Skiathos we take advantage of fresh sailing winds heading west to the more sheltered Gulf of Volos to visit Paleo Trikeri and historic Pegadi in the lee of the Pelion peninsula and Amaliopolis. Next we visit the splendour of Evia and Orei where an ancient Acropolis still guards the harbour. Our flotilla route back to Skiathos stops off at one of the areas famed beaches, Koukounaries. The Sporades cruise plots a course around relatively undiscovered islands such as Alonissos with its scenic harbours at Patitiri and Steni Vala. The beaches are simply lovely and the scenery is stunning.
