Start point

▶︎ Starting Point: Volos Marina

Volos is a vibrant coastal city on the Greek mainland and an excellent base for sailing the Sporades. Located in the Pagasetic Gulf, it offers sheltered waters for your first sailing hours before heading into open Aegean waters.

Why Volos is a great base:
- Direct access to the Sporades
- Less crowded than island charter bases
- Easy provisioning
- Authentic Greek atmosphere
- Good protection in most wind conditions

From Volos, the first island (Skiathos) is typically 4–6 hours sailing depending on wind conditions.

How to get there

Reaching Volos is simple:

✈ By Air
Fly to Athens and drive or take a bus (approx. 3.5–4 hours)
Fly to Thessaloniki, then drive or take a bus (approx. 4 hours)
Fly to Skiathos International Airport, then ferry to Volos
Seasonal flights to Nea Anchialos Airport (closest airport to Volos)

🚗 By Car
Volos is easily accessible by highway from Athens and Thessaloniki. If you are coming from Romania, for example, there is a 11 hours drive from Bucharest and you will find parking near the marina.

🚢 By Ferry
There are regular ferry connections between Volos and the Sporades islands.

We are happy to guide you on the best travel options depending on your departure country.

The route

SUGGESTED 7-DAY ROUTE (Flexible Itinerary)

Every bareboat charter allows flexibility depending on wind and crew preferences. A classic one-week route could include:

Day 1: Volos – departure & overnight in Pagasetic Gulf
Day 2: Sail to Skiathos
Day 3: Skiathos to Skopelos
Day 4: Explore Skopelos bays
Day 5: Sail to Alonissos
Day 6: Marine Park & remote anchorages
Day 7: Return towards Volos with optional mainland stop

Distances are comfortable, typically 15–30 nautical miles per day.

Alternative routes within Pagasetic Gulf are also possible in stronger wind conditions.

The route we are proposing here is morea of a masterplan rather than a promise. When we depend on the wind to sail, we are flexible. In otther words, we will adapt our destinations and arrival time to best use the wind direction. The Capitan will make the sail plan each evening for the next day.

Our evenings

🌙 Evenings in the Sporades are part of the magic.
- Dock in traditional island harbors or just find a peaceful bay to anchor
- Enjoy fresh seafood and Greek meze in local tavernas
- Walk through whitewashed villages
- Watch the sunset from the cockpit
- Swim in calm evening waters
- Relax under the stars at anchor

Each island offers a different atmosphere — from lively marina evenings to peaceful natural anchorages.)

Swim before breakfast
Sail a few hours to the next island
Cook onboard or dine ashore, in a typical Greek taverna
Fall asleep with the sound of gentle water

Living aboard connects you to the sea in a way no hotel can offer.)
