Head off the beaten track to Greece’s dreamy Sporades Islands, with optional stays in Athens, Thessaloniki or Skiathos, breakfast and all travel
Craft your dream Greece getaway on this unique escape, where you can top up beach days and island-hopping in the Sporades with city-slicking in Athens or Thessaloniki. Opt for a city stay to explore the world-famous ancient ruins of Athens or the vibrant foodie and cosmopolitan offerings of Thessaloniki, or focus on the Sporades by heading straight for beautiful Skiathos. After that, you’ll set sail for Greece’s lesser-known islands as you cast anchor in Skopelos followed by an optional stay in Alonnisos - the Sporades are true hidden gems of the Aegean, still largely untouched by foreign visitors. While you’re here, slip down a few gears amid heavenly beaches, charming coastal towns and cosy tavernas - these island havens offer authentic Greek slow-living far from the country’s tourist hotspots. And with hotels, breakfast, ferry transfers and more taken care of, there’s no better time to say kalimera to Greece’s sun-kissed shores.
