Sporades/Evia

The Sporades islands group lies off the eastern shore of mainland Greece and consists of 11 islands of which only 4 are inhabited: Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonnisos and Skyros. These islands are characterized by dense vegetation and mountainous terrain and are world known as some of the bluest and cleanest seas one will ever come across and experience. Each of these has its own beauty and charm and has something unique to offer the visitor.

Alonissos is full of little dream-like coves and nice pebble beaches and is famous for having the clearest waters in the Aegean. Its beautiful beaches are left to their natural beauty, still unspoiled by tourism and protected by the locals and EURONATURE Funds. Only a few of them are slightly organized, offering a few sun beds and umbrellas.

Some of the beaches can be reached by private car or motorbike (local bus only serves one beach) or by boat. Those who can explore Alonissos with their own transport will be able to find their own little deserted paradisiacal bay.

Skiathos island has some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Skiathos island has the rare qualities of being covered with pine trees. Most of the beaches on the island consist of fine light coloured sand and deep blue crystalline waters. Skiathos beaches offer an array of water sports, taverns, and bars. Here are some of the most popular beaches on the island. The fabulous beaches of Skopelos are known for their crystal clear waters, and marvelous landscape that surrounds most of them. Skopelos has a rare quality because it is rich in vegetation, mainly pine trees that grow densly to the waters edge.
