One of the most ideal sailing grounds in Greece for a
bareboat charter holiday is the island group of the Sporades, also known as
the Northern Sporades to distinguish these from the Eastern Sporades which are located just north of the Dodecanese.
Some key islands of the Eastern Sporades:
- Samos
- Patmos
- Ikaria
- Chios or Khios
Some key islands of the (Northern) Sporades:
There are however
two downsides to a sailing holiday in the Sporades:
- During the main season - August and adjacent weeks - the alluring beaches attract just too many sunburned tourists that party and drink till... Yet, a tremendous boost for the local economy though.
- Despite the small airport on Skiathos it is difficult to get a flight into the Sporades
