Skiathos is the easternmost island of the Sporades archipelago and remains the only island with an airport.

Therefore, it is a popular start point for cruising around the islands.

It is a good idea to leave Skiathos on the first day, unless of course you and your crew want to take part in the all night revelry that occurs around the harbour during the summer months.

Steni Vala (Alonissos Island)

lying on the East coast of Alonissos Steni Vala is a small inlet,with good shelter from all the winds, and many taverns with grate sea food

 

Tsougria

Tsougria in the western part of the Sporades. As of 2011, it had no resident population as it is a protected natural habitat. It is administratively part of the municipality of Skiathos and is located southeast of the island. The island has several beaches that are popular with yachts and round-island trips.

Patitiri (Alonnisos Island)

The largest town on the Alonnisos is Patitiri and is also home to the largest harbour on the island. Until 1965 is was a relatively minor harbour which served the old town of Palia, but an earthquake made the old town uninhabitable meaning the whole town moved down the hill. It’s a good spot to visit if the Meltimi is strong as the harbour offers good shelter.

Glossa (Skopelos Island)

High up at 300 metres above sea level on the North East coast of the island, Glossa is a large hillside village with a population of around 1,300 people. The village is 25km from Skopelos Town, though as the crow flies only about 10km. Three buses daily link the village to Skopelos Town.

Kyra Panagia

Kyrá-Panayiá (or Pelayoníssi).
Here is one of the biggest natural harbours of the Mediterranean Sea, Planitis bay.
A safe anchorage  witch like many other natural harbours on the Greek islands  used to be a shelter for pirates during the Middle Ages.
The entrance to Planitis Bay is very narrow and should only be approached in light winds. Once inside the bay, you can anchor, sheltered  from the Meltemi and run a line ashore to enjoy the Milky Way extending from horizon to horizon at night.
