This is a beautiful sailing trip in the Northern Aegean Sea. It is a route of medium to high difficulty, depending on the weather conditions and the wind force that prevail on the dates of the trip. Skyros island, the end destination of this route, is located at the center of the Aegean Sea, so it is affected by the northern winds, especially in summer months. Its long distance from other islands also increases the level of difficulty of the route.
On the other hand, the beauty of the islands is amazing, with hills covered by forests, beautiful and serene coves, picturesque towns by the ports or protected on the stiff mountains. Sporades islands offer a unique combination of sea and mountain beauty, creating a wonderful experience, when visiting on a sailing yacht.
A sailing cruise heading to Skyros in one week, requires to charter the yacht from Skiathos island. Volos is farther away from Skyros, so it would take a longer period, minimum 10 days for a relaxing sailing trip. Assumming that your trips starts from Skiathos, it would be better to finalize your plans to Skyros after checking the weather forecast for the coming week. If winds look strong, the area among the islands of Skiathos to Peristera offer a wonderful sailing area with wonderful spots, safely protected from the elements.
When sailing in the Sporades islands, it is imperative to consult us about the restricted area of the National Marine Park. There are islands, like Peristera, where special tickets must be purchased online, before visiting.
