Ferry from Greece to Sporades Islands

About Greece

Greece is a country in Southern Europe with the 11th longest coastline in the world, sharing borders with Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey, and with islands in the Aegean, Ionian and Mediterranean Seas. As one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, the country’s fabulous beaches, whitewashed homes, historical sites and favourable climate attract huge numbers of visitors to its islands year round, though the majority arrive between April and October. Whether you arrive on the mainland by sea or by air, the majority of islands can only be reached by ferry. With the number of services on offer, as you may expect, Greek ferries are of a high standard and most ferry companies feature a modern and luxurious fleet. All Greek islands are linked to the mainland, some directly, some indirectly and island-hopping is great experience, not to be missed. Due to being a gateway to the islands, the Greek mainland is well connected to Italy across the Adriatic Sea too.

About Sporades Islands

The Sporades Islands are a Greek archipelago jutting off the east coast, in the Aegean Sea, to the north of Euboea Island. Of these sporadically placed, quiet islands, Skiathos is the most developed and cosmopolitan, owning some of the finest beaches in the Med as well. The remaining permanently inhabited members: Skopelos, Alonissos and Skyros, have charmingly rugged landscapes, authentically slow-paced villages and picture-postcard, azure waters. They also offer long networks of peaceful, pine-clad walking trails, taking you past beautiful monasteries and glistening lakes, ideal for exploring the hidden gems of the Sporades Islands. The easiest and most popular way of jaunting off to the Sporades Islands is by ferry, with leading operators providing dozens of frequent routes from the mainland and surrounding islands to numerous ports in the Sporades archipelago.
