The Sporades are the green side of the Aegean: pine woods running down to the sand, turquoise bays and white villages on the hills. Departures are from the marina of Volos, in Thessaly.
The islands
- Skiathos: more than sixty beaches, including Koukounaries and Lalaria.
- Skopelos: the chapel on the rock of Agios Ioannis and the harbour of Glossa.
- Alonissos: the heart of the national marine park, home of the monk seals.
