Hotels in Sporades, Greece

The Sporades are a cluster of Greek islands in the northwestern Aegean Sea, with a Mediterranean climate that brings hot, dry summers perfect for sailing between Skiathos' 60-plus beaches and Skopelos' pine-covered hills, and mild winters ideal for hiking Alonissos' trails through the National Marine Park. You can snorkel in the crystal-clear waters off Skiathos' Koukounaries Beach in July, or visit Skopelos' 13th-century Agios Ioannis chapel (where 'Mamma Mia!' was filmed) during the cooler spring months. For a quieter vibe, head to Alonissos in autumn for cheaper ferry rates and fewer crowds while you explore the ancient sunken city of Peristera.
