Greek Island Hopping
This island-hopping cruise offers you a great chance to discover some of the gems in the Sporades archipelago. First up, you'll cruise to the lush island of Alonissos, sailing through the Sporades Marine Park en route. This reserve was created to protect colonies of rare Mediterranean monk seals. Once you're on Alonissos, you'll have two hours to do whatever you want. Then, sail to Skopelos. Its blue-domed churches and whitewashed villages are everyone's vision of Greece. After docking at Skopelos town, you can walk around its cobbled lanes and explore.As we return to Skiathos, they'll be a short stop at Limnonari beach, too.

Sacred Skiathos tour
High up in the hills north of Skiathos town, you'll find two of the island's holiest sites. Your afternoon starts with a guided tour of the Church of the Archangels and then hike over to the Evangelistria Monastery. It is a haven of cultural and historical artefacts. This 18th-century monastery is perched on the mountainside and surrounded by a lush pine forest. The chapel is decorated with colourful icons and there's also a museum displaying rare books and manuscripts. After a guided tour, you'll enjoy a tasting of some local wines. And you'll also have free time to wander around the grounds.
