The Skiathos islands lie in the north west Aegean, near the peninsula of the south Pelion mountains. The closest mainland city is Volos, in the Pegasitic gulf, from where Jason began his legendary voyage in the Argo. Although Skiathos is one of the most popular holiday destinations in central or northern Greece, with the most famous beaches, the remaining Skiathos islands (Skopelos, Alonissos and Skyros) are relatively unspoilt. Evia is the island which lies parallel to mainland Greece. The inner route up the narrow gulf between Evia and the mainland is more frequently travelled by sailors coming up from Athens, there being sheltered waters and many safe harbours and anchorages. Along the east coast of Evia there are a few anchorages sheltered from the prevailing wind.

From our small base in Skiathos you can sail the Skiathos Islands, a beautiful archipelago in the north east of Greece. Skiathos is the westernmost island in this group, and is the most important island in the group due to its tourist appeal, its airport and of course, its yacht charter port.

Bareboat Greece | Skiathos general:

This green, forested island boasts some of the best beaches in the Aegean with 68 white sand beaches gracing its shores. The Northern Skiathos consists of 24 islands, only four of which are inhabited; Alonnisos, Skiathos, Skopelos, and Skyros. While the beaches and town of Skiathos can be very busy in the summer period, the other islands are just as beautiful but have the added benefit of being rather unspoilt. In fact there are many beaches that are only accessible by boat, promising a fantastic time for those lucky enough to be on a Skiathos sailing holiday. Look for these spots along the northern coast of Evia as well as inside the Pagassitikos Gulf (Volos) and the East coast of Thessaly mainland.
