The Sporades
Verdant pine-covered islands and pristine beaches in the northern Aegean.
Greece's Green Paradise
The Sporades, also called Northern Sporades or Thessalian Sporades, are an archipelago of Greece in the north of the Aegean Sea. They derive their name from the adjective sporas which means 'scattered', 'disseminated' in ancient Greek.
The archipelago comprises eleven islands, of which only four are inhabited. Unlike the rocky Cyclades, the Sporades are covered in pine forests stretching right down to the shoreline - making them one of the most scenic sailing destinations in Greece.
The National Marine Park of Alonnisos and the Northern Sporades is the largest protected marine area in Europe, home to the rare Mediterranean monk seal. Anchor in isolated coves under centuries-old pines.
