Base
(Sporades Islands and
Chalkidiki Peninsula)
For exploring this big Northern part of Greece, Skiathos base is tailor made
for your needs. Fromthe base in the touristy Skiathos, the so called "small
Mykonos", you can start your holiday enjoying the unspoiled bays and small
ports of the Gulf of Volos, sailing to the beautiful green islands of
Sporades, such as Skopelos, Alonissos, Skantzoura and Pelagos.
Sheltered and unspoiled anchorages, sandy white beaches, will offer you the
pleasures of an unforgettable holiday. Within a distance of 50 miles you can
sail up to the Chalkidiki peninsula. The Chalkidiki peninsula reaches down
into the Northern Aegean, with three smaller peninsulas Kassandra, Sithonia,
and Mount Athos.
On the green Sithonia you will delight in the peace and tranquility of small
ports and beautiful anchorages. At Porto Carras, you will reach an extra
modern marina, that offers you superb shore side relaxation. You can delight
the spectacular views of the medieval monasteries of Mount Athos, that have
been separated from the modern world.
These holy communities have no roads, electricity or telephones, females are
still not allowed to enter the monasteries or even the area. Relax through
sailing, fishing and swimming in the blue Aegean sea waters.
Weather & Wind
The weather in the Sporades and in Chalkidiki peninsula is
extremely good for easy sailing, the Meltemi wind does not blow as strong as
in the South. It blows from North East, however the direction is altered by
the islands and channels between them in the Chalkidiki peninsula, the wind
will often blow from South East in a force 2-4.
The weather in the Eastern Sporades, is much like it is in the Cyclades,
with the Meltemi blowing a force 3-5 between May-October, it will blow
stronger in July-August, with a force 5-7 from a North West direction.
