The Sporades are so green! Lets explore together! We will sail from island to island and bay to bay onboard my yacht that has just completed a sail around the world and is equipped with many nice toys like a SUP and a watermaker that makes life on the sea comfortable and chill. We will do a good mix of swimming around the boat in anchorages, visiting 1-2 island towns and explore there, visiting beach bars and tavernas and maybe take a scooter to drive around an island. We will pool about 200 Euros per person at the start of the trip for the "crew kitty" to get food and drinks for the week and for marina fees and for re-fueling the boat at the end of the trip.

I am a 37-year-old German journalist who quit his job to sail around the world. I have also worked as a yacht skipper as a side job for 10+ years. I have also a masters degree in Political Science and Sociology. I am easygoing and uncomplicated as a person.

My boat has 4 double cabins. You share your cabin usually with another crew member of the same sex unless you want it differently. We also have 2 mattresses to sleep on deck and 2 hammocks. We have two bathrooms. In the middle of the boat is the salon with kitchen and big table with sofa area to hang out, cook and eat. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!

Trip Itinerary
1

Skiathos

Day 1-2
At the beginning of our trip, we start at the island capital of Skiathos island. Just flying in there will be an experience for you already as the planes arriving there are often small. After an introduction to the boat and putting our stuff in to the cabins, we have to go food-shopping with the crew to provision the boat for the week. After storing the food on the boat and a safety introduction, we will have a little walk around the city to see the old town a bit and of course choose a taverna for the evening.
2

Koukounaries Beach

Day 2-3
Koukounaris Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece and certainly the place to be on Skiathos island: Fine sand, crystal clear water, calm waters. A perfect place to do nothing but chill - maybe visit the local beach bar to sip some
3

Alonnisos

Day 3-4
Alonissos is very sparsely populated and famous for its tranquil nature. We will enjoy solitude in one of its many enchanting green bays, swim around the boat, chill on the beach - maybe hike up to the mountain village or spend some time doing sweet nothing - dolce far niente.
4

Skantzoura

Day 4
Skantzoura is part of the National Park in the east of the Sporades, so we cannot stay overnight but during the day we can enjoy this gem. This spectacular bay with turqoise waters to swim around in can only be reached by boat. So, lets go for a lunch-stop and a bit of snorkeling maybe - or just sun-tanning on deck, enjoying the view.
5

Kyra Panagia

Day 4-5
This island is in a nature reserve to protect the monk seals and other creatures. So we have to pay for the ticket from our crew kitty but as a reward we might see the cute animals swimming around near our boat. There are nice protected anchorages like Planitis bay which is a perfect natural harbor, almost 360 degrees protected and there is also another bay where we can stay and visit a local monastery.
6

Skopelos

Day 5-6
Green bays with nice beaches, some elegant old houses and a very chill vibe: Skopelos lies at the heart of the Sporades islands. Because everything is nearby, we do not have to sail so much the last two to three days of the trip and can make chilling on board or exploring on land more a priority.
7

Skiathos

Day 6-7
At the end of our trip, we arrive at the island capital of Skiathos island. A perfect place to get a dosis of civilization and city-life after several days in the wild in remote bays. In the evening we will explore the old town and its bars - to celebrate our trip, like sailors did traditionally when in port ;-) Skiathos also has lots of ferries to leave the area after the last night onboard or take a flight to Athens.
