Opposite the shores of Thessalia you will find the Northern Sporades, picturesque Aegean islands, to which many vacationers gather every year. It is known for its golden sands, its crystal clear waters and its quaint little villages with their own color and cultures that offer to a visitor unforgettable holidays. In comparison to the more southern islands of the Aegean, the Northern Sporades are verdurous and the forests reach all the way to the beaches, enchanting even the most demanding visitor. The close distances between the islands are the perfect excuse for quick one-day excursions or weekend getaways. Since there is a frequent ferry timetable to and from mainland Greece as well as in between the island, it is easy to reach the islands. The ferry trip is extremely pleasurable especially if you are lucky enough to have the dolphins accompanying you all the way there. Northern Sporades are completed by Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos and Skiros.
