Kalimera! Welcome to Greece. Your adventure begins in Skiathos – a gorgeous island in the Aegan Sea and part of the Sporades archipelago. Best known for its beaches and nightlife, it’s recommended you arrive a couple of days early if you’d like to explore all the island has to offer. You’ll meet your small group and local skipper at 4.30 pm at Fregio Gelateria in the marina before boarding your private catamaran – your home for the next week. Tonight, perhaps have dinner at a local taverna, enjoying the local Greek hospitality and deliciously fresh food, getting to know your fellow travellers.

Embrace an early start this morning to explore the remote parts of the island in the north, like Elia, Aselinos and Ligaries Beach. Take stand-up paddleboards out into the crystal-clear waters and soak up the gorgeous coastal landscape in the sunshine. Then, your skipper will take you back to the land for a short exploration, followed by lunch on the boat. Sail to Skopelos Island, heading east into more remote and seldom explored parts of the archipelago. Along the way, why not get an introduction to sailing from your skipper or relax on the catamaran forward net – often, there will be dolphins and seals swimming and playing around you as the marine park is just a few nautical miles away! Depending on the group’s desires, you might also stop in Neo Klima and Loutraki to explore. As you arrive in Skopelos, sail past the iconic church of Agios Ioannis, which was made famous by Mamma Mia, then spend the night rocking gently with the waves.

Over the next few days, the National Marine Park of the Sporades will be at your doorstep. Take a refreshing morning swim off the side of the boat before breakfast, then cast east towards Alonissos, Peristera and the Kyra Panagia area.

Wake up with the sun this morning and sail to your final destination – the island of Skiathos. Along the way, stop in Panormos Bay on Skopelos Island – an emerald-green haven just 16 km from Skiathos Town. You might also have time to visit Koukounaries Beach, just a short sail from the town. Renowned as one of the most picturesque beaches in the area, it’s the perfect place to soak up the sun and savour your final moments by the sea with a glass of wine. After, you’ll arrive back in Skiathos port between 4 and 5 pm. Wander the winding streets of Skiathos Town and end the day with a delicious local feast at a traditional Greek taverna, raising a glass to an incredible sailing adventure.

With no further activities planned, your trip comes to an end this morning and you’re free to disembark and make your way off the island. If you’re extending your stay and need help with additional accommodation, just get in touch with your booking agent ahead of time.
