Sporades Island hopping at its best! The Sporades is a group of Greek islands in the northwest Aegean sea. The longest crossing on the trip is more or less 12 km; you don’t need to have experience in open crossings but you do need to be able to paddle 2-3 hours without landing. Paddlers with skills close to 3* are more than welcome to join. Depending on the group experience, we will visit various islands including Skiathos, Skopelos and if there is enough time Alonissos with its sea marine park (the 1st in Greece).
Plenty of options for hiking as well, swimming and snorkelling along the way while we will camp on some of the finest beaches along the way.
On our way back to Athens and assuming that there is enough time it is well worth to spend time exploring Pilion. The villages of Pelion, each with its own character have an incredible architecture with amazing view to the Aegean.
