Sporades family sailing week
A family-oriented Sporades week — pine-fringed anchorages, shorter legs, and Alonissos marine park zones to respect.
- Shorter legs suit kids and mixed-ability crews.
- Alonissos marine park — follow zone restrictions.
- Skiathos airport noise — pick anchorages away from approach path at night.
Family-friendly loop
Skiathos → Skopelos (Kastani or Panormos) → Alonissos → return via Skopelos town.
Boat choice
38–42 ft with good shade and simple sail plan beats oversized charter cats for learning — see yacht model guides for comparable LOA cruisers.
