One of the greatest sailing destinations in Greece are North Sporades, a group of islands in the Northern part of the Aegean sea, located about 40 NM of the mainland. The winds are mild the weather is typical great from May until October. There are plenty of places to visit at the three main Islands Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos and the smaller Pelagos or Kira Panayia and the uninhabited Peristera, Skantzoura, Yioura, Piperi and Psathoura.
