Greek FLOTILLA – Skiathos to Athens

Now most definitely 'off the beaten track' Greece, this Greek coastline once played home not only to Jason and his Argonauts, but was the spot where Achilles set sail to conquer Troy. As one of the most rewarding Greek island holidays, our Sporades Flotilla Holidays offers the best views of the small islands which are not only beautiful with sandy beaches, wooded headlands and pretty villages but are also a 'must see' area for lovers of Greece with 'must sail' waters for more experienced crews of their own flotillas.

From our flotilla sailing homeport of Skiathos, we take advantage of fresh sailing winds (ideal when on a Greek flotilla sailing holiday) 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 – a must for any Greek sailing holiday. 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 the most scenic Greek flotilla holiday by far.
