Discover the Emerald Diamonds of the Sporades
Skiathos and Skopelos, the two “diamonds” of the Sporades, invite us to discover them on a two-day excursion. With Seanthesy Cruises, you will experience an unforgettable maritime journey with comfort, style, and a spirit of exploration. Our modern speedboat ensures a fast and safe trip, filled with breathtaking scenery: endless blue, lush green hills, rugged coastlines, and crystal-clear waters.
Day 1: The Vibrant Spirit of Skiathos
Skiathos is world-famous for its beaches, and we ensure you visit the very best.
The Route: Starting at the exotic Lalaria, with its pristine white pebbles and iconic natural stone arch, we continue to gems like the enchanting Mikri Aselinos, the exotic Banana, and the world-renowned Koukounaries (ranked among the top 10 most beautiful beaches in Greece).
Dining: If you wish, we can stop for lunch or coffee at charming seaside fish taverns, such as those at Diamanti or Sklithri.
Cultural Heart: Your afternoon is free to wander through Skiathos Town. Explore the island’s soul through its cobblestone alleys, the windmill hill, and the cosmopolitan “Maxilares” at the old port.
Legacy: Skiathos is the birthplace of Alexandros Papadiamantis, the “Saint of Greek Literature.” His family home, now a museum in the heart of the town, offers a unique connection to the spiritual and cultural heritage of the island.
Evening: The first day concludes with our arrival at Skopelos Port, where we will spend the night in its picturesque capital.
Day 2: The Serene Beauty of Skopelos
Our second day begins with a relaxing morning in Skopelos Town.
Morning Exploration: Enjoy your breakfast and coffee while wandering through the alleys of the ancient Mycenaean settlement—Peparithos (Ancient Skopelos). Must-see landmarks include Panagitsa tou Pyrgou (the church on the edge of the harbor), the Venetian Castle, and Agios Athanasios, the island’s oldest church.
Emerald Waters: We then set sail for the stunning beaches of Skopelos. We explore Stafylos, Drakontoschisma, and Agnontas on the south side, followed by Panormos, Milia, Kastani, and Klima on the west.
The Return: A magical sunset will accompany us on our journey back, marking the perfect end to our adventure.
