Sporades Islands

The Sporades Islands (Greek: Βόρειες Σποράδες) have a quite different atmosphere from the travel-poster Greece of the Cyclades islands: instead of bare rugged hills topped with dazzling cubistic villages and the Sporades are fertile and heavily wooded, with pine-forested mountains sloping down to some of the best beaches in the Aegean, and the local architecture is more characteristic of Northern Greece, with less whitewashing and more stone roofs. Skiathos is the best known and easiest to get to – accordingly it is the most crowded, with throngs of visitors arriving all summer. Skopelos, while just as attractive, is less touristed outside of July and August, while Alonnisos is much quieter.

Travel to Sporades Islands

From Athens you can buy a combined bus/ferry ticket which will take you overland to the port of Agios Konstantinos, where you can transfer to a boat to all three Sporades islands. If you have your own car, you can also drive to Agios Konstantinos and take a car ferry from there, but bear in mind that not all scheduled boats carry cars, so you'll need to verify in advance which ones do. There are also some boats to the Sporades from the mainland port of Volos and from Kymi on the island of Evvia.

Only Skiathos has a commercial airport. From there you'll find frequent boats to the other Sporades.
