Skiathos · Skopelos · Alonissos
Island hopping
The Northern Sporades are the islands of Mamma Mia - and there is no better way to discover them than by sailing from Volos. The classic route visits four islands: Trikeri, Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos, with a day excursion to the uninhabited Kyra Panagia. Daily legs of 15–30 nautical miles, sheltered anchorages, pine forests and azure water - this is Greece as it once was.
The route
Island hopping
Seven days, four islands. The classic Mamma Mia route (~150–170 nm total) with daily legs of 15–30 nm:
The islands
Skiathos
The liveliest island of the Sporades, with 62 beaches along its coast. The picturesque harbour buzzes with tavernas in the evenings. Some beaches are only reachable by boat - a privilege reserved for sailing guests.
Skopelos
The greenest island of the Sporades and the real Mamma Mia location. Skopelos town has 123 churches and chapels. Agios Ioannis chapel - perched high on a cliff above the sea - is the iconic wedding chapel from the film.
Alonissos
The wildest and most unspoiled island - and the most overlooked by tourists. Home to the largest National Marine Park in Greece. The water here is so clear you can see the seabed at 15 metres depth.
