Two ways to sail

You are the skipper
Take the helm yourself and set your own pace. Aria is easy to handle short-handed, with a self-tacking jib and a full-batten mainsail.
Sit back and enjoy
A local skipper handles the boat while you swim, eat and explore — and knows the sheltered anchorages for every wind.
Experience the Sporades
Volos, in central Greece, is a perfect starting point for sailing holidays in the scenic Sporades archipelago — known for its clear waters, untouched landscapes and charming islands like Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos.
Each island has its own appeal, from lush greenery to picturesque villages and beautiful beaches. The southern route offers more sheltered ports, so the area suits novice and experienced sailors alike.
Flexible — your route follows the wind and your wishes.
Day 1
Fly in, board in the afternoon and sail the same evening to the fishing village at the tip of the Pelion peninsula.
Day 2
Cross to Skiathos: sandy coves on the south coast and a lively harbour town after dark.
Day 3
Pine forest down to the water, sheltered bays on the south-west coast and the whitewashed Chora.
Day 4
Gateway to the National Marine Park of Alonissos & Northern Sporades — the clearest water of the trip.
Day 5
A day among the protected islets of the park, swimming off the boat in remote anchorages.
Day 6
Head back west with the prevailing northerly behind you, stopping for lunch on the way.
Day 7
Through the Trikeri channel into the calm Pagasetic Gulf and back to base.
When to go
The charter season in Greece runs from April to October. Spring and autumn are mild and quiet; July and August are the hottest months.
July and August often reach 30–35 °C and occasionally over 40 °C during heatwaves — Aria is fully air-conditioned.
Northerly winds, including the strong Meltemi, give excellent sailing; the southerly Sirocco appears early and late in the season.
Volos airport (VOL) is under an hour from the port, so you can set sail the evening you arrive.
A week is enough to reach Alonissos and back; two weeks let you explore further, to Skyros and Evia. Departures from Skiathos also give quick access to the main islands and the marine park.
