The Sporades lie in the shimmering waters off the eastern coast of Greece where you can unwind and enjoy fine sandy beaches, pine perfumed hillsides, ancient ruins and abundant sea life.

THE IONIAN
The Ionian Sea boasts ideal wind and sailing conditions, a myriad of anchorages, quiet fishing villages and lively resorts all dotted among lush green islands. These ideal sailing conditions combined with wonderful cuisine and culture make the Ionian a superb holiday choice.
