Detailed Itinerary by days
Day 1Volos - Trikeri Island
Start in Volos, the doorway to the Pelion Peninsula, where mountain air carries stories of centaurs. Anchor at Trikeri Island, a paradise of pine-scented peace, sail into the Pagasetic Gulf passing rich cliffs. Swim in the sparkling waters of the harbor, then climb to the white-washed Panagia Evangelistria Monastery, which glows at nightfall. At a coastal taverna, dine on saganaki shrimp while the lights of fishing boats glitter like far-off stars.
Day 2Trikeri Island - Koukounaries
Then glide north to Koukounaries, the golden gem of Skiathos, where a crescent of powdered sand meets a pine forest. Dive into the cerulean embrace of the Aegean or paddle to Banana Beach for sunbathing. Wander the cobblestone streets of Skiathos Town as evening sets, where ouzo runs freely in vibrant mezedopoleia and bougainvillea pours over whitewashed walls.
Day 3Koukounaires - Tzortzi Bay (Alonissos)
Sail east toward Alonissos' rocky coast's secret cove, Tzortzi Bay. Anchor in the safe waters of Marine Park, diving to spot old shipwrecks or snorkelling next to energetic seals Under a star canopy, feast on astakos makaronada (lobster pasta) from the mountaintop village of Chora, where stone roads run alongside artisan workshops.
Day 4Tzortzi Bay - Kira Panagia
Cruise to Kira Panagia, an unspoiled island where Byzantine monasteries cling to rocks above private beaches. Kayak to the Blue Cave, where sunshine paints the walls blue, from Planitis Bay, whose waters reflect the heavens. Drop anchor there. With locals, forage wild oregano; then, cook fresh-caught bream on deck; the breeze smells thyme.
Day 5Kira Panagia - Skopelos
Set off for Skopelos, the Sporades' "Green Queen". Swim at Kastani Beach, well-known for Mamma Mia! glory, and visit Dock in Glossa, a community of terracotta rooftops and flowing gardens. Discover the Agios Ioannis Chapel from the 14th century, located on a sea stack, then toast with plum wine from a hillside taverna gazing out over the Aegean.
Day 6Skopelos - Agia Kiriaki
Then drift south to Agia Kiriaki, a calm harbor with verdant hills around a pebble beach. Snorkel in waters so pure you will count every rock or walk across olive trees to a secret chapel. Dine ashore on spanakopita and honey-drizzled yogurt, the waves softly lapping as dusk fireflies flutter.
Day 7Agia Kiriaki - Volos
Go back to Volos and relish a last dip at Agios Ioannis Beach, where golden sand is kissed by blue waves. Dock with the sun setting over Mount Pelion, then celebrate your journey over grilled octopus and tsipouro from a seaside ouzeri. Let the charm of the Sporades—wild settings, crystalline waves, and the coziness of island smiles—stay on your skin like salt.
