 The
Sporades islands lie on the northeast side of
Evia. They are a cluster of stunningly beautiful
green islands, the largest of which are
Alonissos, Skiathos, Skopelos and Skyros. The
capital is on Skopelos, which is famous for its
2000-year-old tradition in wine making. The
islands combine modern day amenities with
picturesque traditional villages, shaded sandy
beaches, castles and unforgettable scenery for a
blend made in haven, taking visitors on a
comfortable and exciting journey back in time.
As the islands' popularity grows, the tourist
industry is inevitably flourishing. A large
number of accommodations is available, but not
enough to satisfy high-season demand, so it is
advisable to book early.
To get there, the easiest
way is travelling by bus or car to either Aghios
Constantinos or Volos on the mainland, and from
there on a ferry or a hydrofoil across. There is
ferry connection between Skiathos and the
northern Greek capital of Thessaloniki. There
are also frequent flights connecting Athens to
Skiathos and Skyros daily. The Sporades islands
are the ideal destination for relaxation,
serenity and beauty. |
