This stunning group of islands lie in the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea off the east coast of the Greek mainland. You'll get to experience the more traditional side of Greece with its picturesque villages, beautiful beaches, dense pine forests and mountainous terrain.Sporades, Skopelos | from Greek Tourism Office
The weather's fantastic, the food is excellent and there's a good range of accommodation on the four inhabited islands of Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos and Skyros. Forget rowdy resorts and enjoy some peace and tranquility with your family.
Getting there/around Sporades
You can get a direct flight to Skiathos and there are several options for getting around during your stay. These include the excellent local bus service which will take you to most of the beaches and other attractions.
There are plenty of car rental companies at the airport if that's your preferred mode of transport, but be aware that if you're planning to get high up in the mountains, you'll need a jeep. Another way of getting around is to hire a moped, but make sure you get a helmet too.
